I was last here 17 years ago, and though nearby areas had been scorched by the huge 2017 Chetco Bar and 2002 Biscuit Fires, I was so glad to find the old growth conifers around Vulcan and Lower Vulcan Lakes relatively unharmed. I guess they've seen a few fires in their 900 years. Sadly, however, the couple of Brewer's Weeping Spruce I knew of nearby (on the other side of the ridge from Vulcan Lake) did not survive.
