A view from the top of Red Butte looking across at Three Fingered Jack (partly in the clouds) and Hoodoo Butte on the right:
An
on-the-ground view of the burn. There are many small seedlings, bear
grass, and other wild flowers already coming up. And many tasty morels!!!
Looking west from the top of Red Butte you can see an entire basin that burned
very HOT!
Looking out over Mowhich Lake and Duffy Butte, you can see the burn on the
Butte. The eastern edge of Mowhich also burnt, as seen below:
