Summary

Description
English: Satellite image of the Red Rock fire in the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Located east of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, Gros Ventre is part of the Yellowstone ecosystem. As the image shows, the wilderness contains a mix of landscapes ranging from meadows, which are pale green, to lodgepole or ponderosa pine forests, which are dark green. An array of exposed rocks—gray ridgelines of limestone, cliffs of red shale and pink sandstone, and brown till (rock debris) left by glaciers—surround the fire. The Gros Ventre range is extremely prone to landslides, and the pale strip of gray south of the smoke plume appears to be a landslide.

Image captured by the Landsat-5 satellite. Landsat 5 data from the USGS Global Visualization Viewer.
