A look at Chiricahua National Monument after the Horsehoe 2 Fire consumed much of the Chiricahua range in Summer, 2011.
Some green still survives in the fires scorched areas surrounding Sugarloaf Mountain at the Chiricahua National Monument in the aftermath of the Horseshoe 2 Wildfire, Tue. July 26, 2011. Areas of the upper reaches of the monument are untouched, but others are almost completely denuded of vegetation.
