On May 30, 2015, the Aspen should have been leafed out but the section of trail shown on the preceding page shows the effect of the Silver Fire.
In the top photo below, looking west from the trail, there are burnt trees (from the Silver Fire) in the foreground. The view to the east, bottom photo, is just as dramatic. Over most of the walk there is no evidence of the fire, along the
trail. Looking away from the area immediately along the trail provides ample evidence of the event, however.
This is a beautiful little walk through Aspen groves and a forest floor displaying numerous flower species - a number of which were in bloom during our walk in May.
