a tour of boulder's hwy 36 - post wildfire


Wildfires hit between Lee Hill Rd and Lefthand Canyon in North Boulder County




North Boulder towards Lyons was hit hard





This photo is two miles east of the Lefthand & Hwy 36 intersection





A barn and a horse farm were both lost to the flames after the fire jumped over the hwy







Heading down the roller coaster section towards the Neva Rd intersection





Pushed all the way up to the popular riding intersection, Neva Rd.







Looking up towards the Hogbacks running/hiking trail bordering Dakota Ridge





This is taken from our friend's porch in Dakota Ridge. The fire stopped about 30 meters in front of Diane's front yard.





The popular and heavily traveled Dakota Ridge running/hiking trail





Fence outside of our condos knocked over by the intense, 55mph winds on Wednesday

thanks L&M those are better than anything that i've seen in the DC. Gives a cyclist/runner perspective to it all.

Is wolfgang's place okay?

I asked one of the policemen who was stationed between Olde Stage & Lefthand and he "thought" his house was okay but wouldn't let me ride by to confirm.

I see you hopped ship to warmer weather!
