Yellowstone Wildfires
A series of about 400 shots that I took while leading a group through the Park on Sept 26th, 2009.
The Arnica fire on the northwest side of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park has now burned 9,300 acres and has again required that the Grand Loop road be closed between West Thumb and the junction at Fishing Bridge Lake. The park said the road will be closed indefinitely due to fire activity and hazardous snags falling across the road.

I recall the horrific fires that decimated Yellowstone in 1988. We visited the Park three years ago, and the scars were still evident. With all the destruction though comes new life and a cleansing that has occurred thoughout time. Keep up your good works, thanks for the update.
