I have not been up to the North Fork recently but one look at Google earth will show you that the Mimbres Forks was one of the most heavily impacted areas of the Silver Fire 5 years ago.Very few live trees left and tons of ash in the stream channel from post fire flooding. The last few years I've been trying to hike in areas in the Black Range that escaped the worst of the devastation,not always successfully. If you go be aware that the thorny thick growing New Mexico locust tree tends to take over quickly in burnt areas. I found this out over at East Curtis Canyon( tributary to Animas Creek) and I've heard it's very bad in Black Canyon as well.Devon Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420276569501950892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-44305175341804590022018-04-22T08:18:25.789-07:002018-04-22T08:18:25.789-07:00Hi!
