Rough Fire Aftermath
This was taken from a pull out on the way to Hume Lake in Kings Canyon National Park. Last year this area burned for months from a raging wildfire. It burned thousands of acres of forest land. The smoke was covering both sides of the Sierras in this area. There were days in Fresno when you couldn't hardly walk outside it was so bad.
We couldn't drive back into the river area because of the snowy conditions and it is still closed from the fire. This vista shows a mostly bald mountain now. If you press L you can see a lot of dead pines looking like black toothpicks now. Mother Nature can sure show her mean side sometimes. On the plus side, all this snow will really help out with out drought.
