| no partners | | I hiked down the creek that runs off Becker Tanks, between Bear Creek and Beaver Creek. I parked right there at the T intersection where FR 26 hits FR 24.
FR 24 toward Bear Creek is gated off right now. I heard it's closed because they can't keep the landslides from happening, due to Wallow Fire erosion. I suppose you can walk into the area, but I saw enough recently fallen trees where I was hiking to make me pretty nervous about hiking in fire areas.
I had planned on hiking along the river, and brought my sandals for crossing it, but the water was running fairly fast and high, so that crossing it did not look like a safe proposition.
We'd had high winds for several days, and I noticed many live trees down, especially on the flats across the river. So, not just the trees from the fire are falling.
In the area where I hiked the fire damage is spotty but you can sure see where there was a lot of flooding after the fire.
A reminder, the Wallow Fire started Memorial Day weekend 2011, burned over 500,000 acres, and wasn't out until July. |
