Description
In mid-August of 2020 I visited Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado to escape the heat of the summer. The day before the Cameron Peak fire had started near the park. Colorado already had three fires burning through its forests. It's sad to see such destruction in such a beautiful state. I made the drive up Trail Ridge Road in the park to the visitors center and you couldn't help but see the smoke the entire drive up. Once at the visitors center I made the short hike to the view point above the center. It broke my heart to see the forest burning while most everyone around me was ignoring it and just taking selfies. I noticed this one person sitting on a rock and just watching. I thought it was a powerful moment to capture.
