Rainbow Falls Trail - Burn Area


Rainbow Falls Trail - Burn Area, originally uploaded by kimberzy.

Remnants of the 1992 Rainbow Fire. The Rainbow Fire was caused by a lightning strike about 3 miles south from here. The fire was fueled by strong winds and drought conditions, and destroyed 8000 acres of the forest. The undergrowth is coming back, and, as you can see, new trees are sprouting up.
