Smoke rises from a fire on the northwest shore of Snag Lake. My son and I were camped there when the fire started from a lightening strike. We gave firefighters our food and hiked south ahead of the creeping blaze. Years later I documented the damage and re-growth, left. We were camped near the beach in the background. The top left photo shows a bare area, at the left, where the fire burned. Cinder Cone rises as a rounded hump to the right of the bare area. Several fires have spread through this area over the years.
