Hit a Snag

Approaching Sylvan Pass from Yellowstone National Park's east entrance, I encountered this snag forest in the Absaroka Range.

 

Snag forests are actually quite beneficial to the ecosystem, providing nutrient rich resources to the various fora and fauna inhabiting the area. This forest is a result of lightning caused wildfires in 2007.
