The scale of the decimated forests is inconcievable until you drive and walk through it, and the completeness of the death of the tall trees is stunning. But the forest now acts in other ways as the tall trees break open in the weather, decay, and pass their space onto the saplings growing below. I chanced upon this road when all the rest were blocked for ski season. This was the road that revealed the true extents of the fires path, and of a new way of looking at the landscape here.
