3 years after Monument Fire - Old Sawmill Spring Trail to Carr Peak

Today, I hiked Old Sawmill Spring Trail to Carr Peak. There are still lot of fire burned trees standing and dead trees after fire. Thankfully, we had wet Monsoon season last year and over 80% of Aspen tress are recovered. Also, lot of young Manzanita, Ash, and Oaks growing up pretty fast from both seeds and roots. But, I could find only one young Pine or Fir tree in the trail.

Here is some pictures I took today.
