Mountain layers: burn scars - a photo on Flickriver

            The view from Bighorn Mountain looking southeast across Fourmile and Boulder Canyons, towards Green Mountain, Bear Peak, and South Boulder Mountain.  In the gap between the bare sunlit slope and the forested hill in the distance you can make out the tops of the 3 iconic Flatirons, and above them the skyscrapers of downtown Denver.

The barren slope is a reminder of the September 2010 fire that roared through Fourmile Canyon.  After six days the fire had singed 6181 acres (10 square miles), and destroyed 168 homes.

On the two summits in the middle of the photo (Bear Peak and South Boulder Mountain) you can see a bare area burned by the Flagstaff Fire of 2012, which burned 300 acres, and put part of the City of Boulder on alert for evacuation.
