Smoky Morning

Fire season is wrapping up, and I'm flying back to my home base of West Yellowstone from Redding today, and then i'll start the long drive home to Virginia. It's been a great season, and the photo i'm posting today is from the Irene Fire on the first morning we hiked up to it. It was at 8000 feet in the High Sierra, so there were some massive trees amongst the boulder fields, and I loved how the sunlight lit up the smoke filtering through these huge dead snags.
