On the night of August 20, 1910, a wildfire of unimaginable fury cross the fog shrouded summit in the distance, headed east into Montana. Driven by hurricane-force winds, the Great 1910 Fire - the largest in U.S. history - incinerated more than two million acres of timberland in northern Idaho and western Montana in two terrifying days and nights. Ninety-eight years later, this forest stands as testament to nature's resiliency and a replanting effort that took years to complete.
