This week I spent two long days on bus tours to look at flood damage and what has been done to repair it, including planting new vegetation. Day one was really hot and we were at low altitude. Day two was high-altitude and there was a big rain storm, but the scenery was fantastic.

Up in Rocky Mountain National Park:

This is the West Alluvial Fan campground at Rocky Mountain National Park. You can see just the top of the sign. All that material, 10 or 15 feet deep, came down during the September flooding, and totally cut off that campground.



This is where Old St. Vrain Road washed out along the St. Vrain River, near Lyons, Colorado. In the foreground you can see a bit of the road, and then it takes up again across the river.
