Colorado Forest Fires


Fire Burn on Bird's Eye Gulch, Leadville Area
Here on our Jeeping Trail the aftermath of a brush fire was seem first hand. It looked like a locomotive set this one off, as sparks seemed to have come off the tracks.  With conditions bone dry in Colorado this summer,  the forests are learning to rejuvenate themselves.  The stark textures of black and green seem to add drama to the landscape.  Next Spring new growth will appear from underneath the deep snow, and plant life shall thrive again!
