British Columbia Photos Recovering Forest, Kootenay National Park Previous Photo : Photo Index : Next Photo The area at the Continental Divide (and border with Banff National Park) was heavily damaged by forest fire in 1968. A little over 30 years later and the forest is well on the way to recovery. The mountainsides have a bristly appearance where white burnt trunks poke above the new growth. This photo is taken along the interesting Stanley Glacier Trail, my personal favourite hike in the Canadian Rockies. If you would like to use a photo, please write and ask. I almost always agree.
