Approaching Gateway Gorge.
Gateway Gorge.
South of the gorge the trail entered the area burned in the 2007 Fool Creek Fire. Apparently 2007 was a big fire year, with both this one and the Ahorn Creek Fire farther south covering a lot of acreage in the Bob. Wildflowers and birds, especially hummingbirds, were abundant.
I love how they left the old charred Trail Creek sign up there.
Paintbrushes and other assorted wildflowers.
Fording Strawberry Creek.
Garter snake sunning in the trail.
Grizzly Park is a small open area most of the way up Bowl Creek toward Sun River Pass. A lot of the surrounding forest burned in the Fool Creek Fire, but many of the trees lining the park survived. Beavers have dammed Bowl Creek here, creating a small marsh rich with wildlife.
