After the 1988 Fires

Nearly half of the park burned in 1988, leaving much of the landscape looking like what's seen in the background...small lodgepole pines growing where taller mature forest once stood.  The Park has been left to naturally regenerate after the 1988 fires, and in most burned forest areas, you find thick stands of young trees.  Just a few photos here to show regenerating forest in the Park.
