Now that the Station Fire is history and the forest is opening up, people are sharing their pictures with us of what the familiar local trails now look like. Paul Ayers sent us several pictures along the Sam Merrill trail, of which these two really struck us:
Grizzly Point where the Middle Merrill crosses Sunset
Ridge: plastic cover on trail sign that has melted and re-hardened as a drape.
Burned-unburned interface where the Middle Merrill turns
to go up Grand Canyon. Except for spot fires, the Middle Merrill did not burn.
