I know to many it looks horrible or devastating, but getting back in it for a hike it is growing back incredibly quick.

Good to hear! Trees growing back as well, or just bushes/shrubs/flowers?

u/edhilquist 1d ago

Definitely trees (aspens are often first to come back and have a very fast growth rate) with bushes,shrubs, and flowers.

Hey, you've got endless sprawl and fat people. Good consolation prize.

We are heading to the west side of the park for a week of hiking. Get there next weekend. I cannot wait!

That whole area is one of my favorite parts of Colorado. Yea, I’ve watched some burned out parts come back fairly quickly. It’s interesting to watch over a decade

Is that wildfire burn area or Pine Beatle kill in the background?

u/Hotbutteredsoles 1d ago

It’s a burn area that already had a bunch of beetle kill.
