Rattlesnake Canyon after the November 2008 Tea Fire - March 28, 2009
I had a wonderful early spring hike up Rattlesnake Canyon Trail. It left me feeling uplifted to see the new growth after the gentle nicely spaced rains this winter. The Goleta Mountains old burned areas look green as well after the rains. It is strange how worried I was about how the canyons would be after the fire. Rattlesnake is just as wonderful and perhaps even more so because of being able to witness the miraculous recovery from fire.
