The mountain pine beetle is killing our trees in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana and Canada. I'm not sure where else it has hit. Typically they are good for a forest and attack old or weakened trees. But in a drought situation and/or in milder winters (which we have had in Wyoming and Colorado) they thrive and attack healthy trees and now we have an epidemic. They are out of control. I will try to attach a picture of what most of us see in our local forests. A friend went camping a couple of weeks ago and a dead tree fell on the road blocking a bunch of other campers in. Luckily these people had a winch and were able to pull the tree off the road. That's why we are trying to camp away from trees right now. There are dead ones EVERYWHERE and they are falling all the time. Even the live ones are falling b/c they don't have well established root systems and with all the dead ones falling around them there isn't much support in the wind.
