This is the worst I've ever seen it. I'm not sure if it was this way immediately after the Station Fire, but I was up there the first weekend after they opened the area and, while there was a lot of silt then, it was nothing like it is now. A pool that was at least 8-10 feet deep that we were able to jump into from the rocks above only a couple years ago (post fire) is now completely full of sand! I mean it is just gone. All of them. It struck me as very sad, even though I know that this is the way of the mountains and has been for millenia. I didn't take any pictures because I don't want to remember the Arroyo like this. I may not be back here for a while.
