Huck Fire Turnout

Fire is part of natural western landscapes. Fire helps regenerate the ecosystem by clearing dense underbrush and opening up the forest to sunlight. The Huck Fire was one of many fires during the summer of 1988 that burned across Yellowstone and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Today, notice younger, smaller lodgepole pines and subalpine fir interspersed with older, taller trees. Standing and fallen dead trees remind us that in these semi-arid environments vegetation decays slowly. The patchwork or mosaic here highlights the changes brought about by fire. Name Origin One of the many fires sparked during the summer of 1988 - the year of the large wildland fires in Yellowstone National Park. Gale-force winds blew a tree into power lines sparking the fire on Black Saturday, August 20, 1988. The fire was named for nearby Huckleberry Mountain.
