The regular linear patterns in the photo below were created through the burning of piles of dead trees (slash). These trees were bulldozed into strips after the Half Moon fire which burned through the town of Belton (West Glacier) in 1929. These patterns are still visible through the dense lodgepole forest that exists today.
