This is really a shame. I have spent a fair amount of time in that country, especially the White Mountains. it is some of the prettiest high country in Arizona. I was glad to read that the burnout is not total. The forest will come back, eventually.

Also, the Horseshoe 2 fire is crisping the Chiricahuas, another wonder range in the state, and is threatening Chiricahua National Monument. It's a bad time for Arizona high country.
