There's still scattered burn and surreal twice burned areas on the third day backpacking, but there's also unburned and healthy after the burn areas. My plans had to morph a little and I got in tagging a peak right at the end!

Here's the first day (links to the rest are at the top of the post) of backpacking in the Trinity Alps on my own after doing the first week of trail work. A bit of burn, crazy burn, surreal twice burned, scattered burn, grand (5th) day, then back across burn. Even burn has its moments.

After #hiking out past a little fire, it was a bit baffling why I was barreling toward this pyrocumulonimbus and smoke mess. A lot of smoke, but no roads closed so I made it home.
This is the #DeepFire in the #TrinityAlpsWilderness seen from the Stuart Fork boat launch.

Mostly not trail work photos from cutting trees and brush along a couple trails in the Canyon Creek area with the Bigfoot Trail Alliance: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/05/canyon-creek-area-trail-work.html
