Paradise Fire in Olympic National Park

Post by Rather B Hiking » July 15th, 2015, 3:55 pm

The Paradise Fire is burning along the north side of the Queets River in Olympic National Park. You know it is dry when there are fires in a rainforest area that normally gets up to 150 inches of rain per year! Inciweb says the area has had the driest spring in 100 years, and the snowpack was only 14% of average.
