White Mountians in Arizona after the Wallow Fire

The Wallow Fire in mid-June of 2011 became the largest wildfire in Arizona history. Much of the forest it burned, however, was not destroyed. Forest conditions were enhanced in more than half of the areas we encountered. Here are some photos from months after the fire.
