Ok so I'm such a newbie that I guess I need to ask this...the burned  areas 
mean that there will be less water? or less cover during the day or just  black 
burned areas? Sorry may be a silly question but thats how I learn..  :)What 
does this do as far as planning goes? Will the trail be rerouted to let  it 
recover?

Yeah, black burnt areas, sometimes with lots of blow downs.  The worst  I saw 
was in the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness.  You could tell the fire got  so hot, 
the rocks exploded. Sometimes it got really depressing but was  beautiful in 
it's own way, especially when wild flowers started to regrow.
 
The worst part is you get filthy!
