slow return

Trees are slowly returning after the Promontory Fire in May, 2007. At 4,000-5,000 feet elevation, trees take a long time to recover.

This looks wonderful, so good that it is recovering. It sure took it's time.

Yikes - that has been a lot of years, but it's nice to see them now.

Nature is wonderful and if only we could learn to live with it. Beautiful colours.

Isn't nature clever?!

Great to see that nature recovers again!

Nice to see but agree that the scars will be around for some time.
