Wow. Looks like you got to see some amazing views on your trip. Although what's with all the dead trees? Is that natural or logging?

A bark beetle infestation in the pine trees killed a ton of trees, creating lots of dead wood, and then the Curve Fire of 2002 came through. And fueled by the abundance of dead wood, also destroyed many more trees.
It is kinda sad, but there are a bunch of new small trees growing back.
And having less trees at the moment does make for some really nice wide open views! So it's not all bad.
Oh that's interesting. Thanks for getting back to me about it.
