Just like CM, I got out to Switzer today. It's been wayyyy too long since I had been down there and I've been dying to know how much of this area survived the fire. The good news is, it is in awesome shape and the maintenance crews have kicked butt bringing this area back up to par. Also there wasn't too much evidence of fire damage besides the hillsides along the 1-2 mile part of the trail, as well as parts of the paved road heading down from the lot. Just like CM pointed out, some of the pools have some healing to do still, but this is rocking and rolling and I am eager to get to it via Lake Ave very soon.
I also saw a bobcat run across ACH. My first bobcat sighting! Amazing animals!

Nice Matt! The waterfall is really going strong right now, isn't it?
The bobcat pic is great.
