Jasper National Park is known for its beautiful natural scenery, but that scenery certainly took a hit last summer when a furious forest fire swept through the park. Yesterday I showed some photos of the Jasper townsite. Today I have some pictures I took of what used to be the surrounding forest. In the photo above, you can see the town in the distance; it is that light colored flat area in the upper left. You can also see trees, all blown down in the same direction by the tornado-like winds produced by the fire, in the lower part of the photo,.
Here are some other pictures of the charred forests. The trees that are brown had needles that were not burned by the fire, but the fire killed the tree nevertheless. You can still spot a few trees that got through the conflagration alive.
