Deer Park Fire 1988

These trees are near the Deer Park Campground in a remote area of Olympic National Park. A fire there, started by an illegal campfire at a time when fire danger was very high, burned about 250 acres. These trees are left from the fire and will last for many more years, since a fire like this will often leave the trees dead but nearly impervious to rot.
