Bearing witness in a changed, post-fire landscape. Fire and flood shape the environment; some history passes away, while other traces remain untouched. The land eventually recovers: Some of it recently, some of it long after my lifetime.
On a rare group trip, we heard rain overnight and woke to this raging torrent. After the Babylon Fire, flooding was inevitable. The water carried a lot of ash.
@ramblinghemlock and I went to a place above the desert floor, where elk bugled, and there were expansive views of Capitol Reef and the Henry Mountains.
The hot and dry summer may account for the early leaf changing and somewhat muted colors. Still, not a bad sight.
@ramblinghemlock and I did an overnight to an obscure peak with an amazing viewscape. From the summit, we could see the Abajos and La Sals (our “home” mountains), distant 13ers and 14ers along the horizon, and the red rock country over the horizon. An incredible sunset capped off the evening.
Local mountains view. A touch of fall up high.
