Wallow Fire Burn Photos -- Part One

This is a view of the one of the northern edges of the Wallow Fire. You can click on the image to enlarge it. If you look carefully at the photo, you can see the black ground and a few trees with brown needles. In most of this area, there was little or no ground cover, so the fire only occasionally got into the tops of the trees. The trees with the brown needles are scorched and going to die. You can barely see where the fire came over the hill in the background. The fire burn looks like a line of brown trees. There are areas where the trees are completely destroyed, but not in this area. The ground cover will recover with the rains although the sagebrush takes years to grow very large. The road in the foreground is likely where the firefighters stopped the fire.
