Burnt Trees near Skihist Provincial Park

I took these pictures while on a recent camping trip. We knew that Skihist was closed due to the wild fires in that region of the province, but we wanted to know for ourselves what had happened to this beautiful place.  We have gone camping in the park for many years, hiked its trails and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of the Thompson River canyon.  It captures your heart, and it is very sad to see it like this.  The loss is enormous. We don't yet know the extent of the damage to the park.
