The aftermath of wildfires is often just as destructive as the fires themselves. Over the weekend, severe flash flooding and debris flows struck the area near Ruidoso, New Mexico, following two weeks of intense wildfires.

The dark floodwaters filled with ash and soot from the South Fork and Salt Fires pummeled through Ruidoso’s canyons, drowning Highway 70 which runs through the middle of town and even toppling over a fuel tanker.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
