…A Huge Forest Fire Burned Off This Whole Area “In The Late 1950’s”,
……And Because This Area Is So Dry, The Forest Has Yet To Grow Back, Despite The Fire Was So Many Years Ago!

….“Chris wants to go hiking up a trail and I let him, finding a small shady spot to sit back and rest. Just quiet now, and meditative. .. A display describes a fire burn that took place here years ago. According to the information the forest is filling in again but it will be years before it returns to its former condition.” (Cont. Next)

Colgate Lick Rest Area, Lochsa River Canyon, ID. I believe this is very probably the “fire burn“ area mentioned by the Narrator. Many thanks to Mr. Rick Parker of the Lochsa Ranger Station, U.S. National Forest Service, for this photo.
….As you can see in my previous two photos of this area, that there are very few trees. This is because, in this area of low rainfall, trees can grow only very, very slowly, and thus it takes many, many decades for the forest to “return to normal”!
….This is possibly the sign seen by the Narrator, or a sign quite similar. The sign in this photo shows the various "burns" on the ridge opposite the river. Click here to see a panorama that includes the ridge shown in the sign. Attention: When the panorama comes up, click on the panorama to get the largest view.
