VIDEO: Friday, a KRDO crew was part of a private tour of the worst area damaged by the 2018 Spring Creek Fire in La Veta Pass.
That 108,000-acre fire burned thousands of trees, destroyed 141 homes and led to an aftermath of flooding and erosion in western Huerfano and eastern Costilla counties.
Highway 160 through the pass was closed for several weeks during the fire.
KRDO surveyed the burn scar in Forbes Park, a community managed by a landowners association since 1977 that is south of Highway 160 between La Veta and Fort Garland.
The community covers over 13,000 acres and has more than 3,300 lots; most of the homes destroyed by the fire were located there.
One of the victims was Cody Siebert, who is part of the Spanish Peaks Alliance for Wildfire Protection that organized the tour involving around two dozen people from the area.
