Lush in Burn scar

Backpacked to this campsite in the summer. It is in a burn scar for most of the hike. The campsite however is surrounded by fresh green trees and give good coverage and can spot it from the meadow. Great views of the mountains and granite falls. There was wildlife present at night not so much during the day but fresh tracks were present.
