Road through Greenwood Fire Aftermath, Superior National Forest

A road traverses the charred landscape within the Greenwood Fire closure zone in Minnesota's Superior National Forest. This area was severely impacted by the Greenwood Fire, which burned 27,000 acres after a lightning strike ignited the extremely dry forest. Hundreds of US Forest Service crew members were deployed to combat the wildfire, with ongoing efforts continuing in the aftermath. The fire significantly affected this northern Minnesota wilderness, including portions of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Isabella.
