After the Fires
Yosemite National Park is among the most beautiful places on earth. Because of its climate and geography, however, it is susceptible to devastating wildfires.
Here, along Glacier Point Road, you find swaths of snag forest from fires past. These stands of snag forest are very beneficial to the ecology and, to my eye at least, create a visually stunning landscape, especially in the early stages of the Sierra winter.
