Maybe avoid the worst of last years fire area but don't worry much about older areas. Do you have any entry points you are currently looking at? |

quote nofish: "I wouldn't worry about avoid fire areas that are a few years old. I just spent several days in an older fire area and its actually pretty cool to see. You can get a whole new perspective on the forest and terrain and it makes wildlife easier to see. yup, you can see a long way when the trees are shoulder height The burn on the end of Sag & Seagull are non issues now, I paddled them later in the year after the fire, it was not a pretty sight and campsites were horrid (there were a few that were somewhat spared) |
