Was going to make a joke about the Glory Hole Tavern, but it turns out that place helped keep the town on the map. It even had a bar salvaged from a ghost town.

Incredible. Is the vegetation on the hills due to season? Or was there a reforestation effort?
Have been asking that myself, no answer though, sri.
Top photo has no trees on the Ridgeline, so it's unlikely to be a seasonal difference.
My guess is either people cut down the trees in the top photo and they grew back or it's in a warm typically grasslands environment that would normally have a forest fire cycle keeping trees from germinating, but years of forest fire suppression allowed trees to encroach.
