A Day Hike after the Day Fire

Many have hiked to the top of the Topa Topa Bluffs and found it to be one of the most beautiful hikes in Ojai. My hike there after the Day Fire offered a different view than before. These photos were taken on the back side of the bluffs on January 8 of this year. Can this be the same place? It was a little bit eerie walking through miles of trail where all the foliage is gone, seeing places where the fire was so hot that it left no trace of plant life - somewhat like a moonscape. But the ground is alive. The green shoots of new growth coming up through the ashes were comforting to see.

Thanks for sharing these. I've been curious, yet afraid.
