If you haven't taken a good look at this map of our area you don't know the full scope of the beetle problem.
This aerial survey was completed by Wally MacFarlane in 2009. The plague has spread since then.
The areas highlighted RED are almost entirely beetle-killed trees.

Make sure to check out the East Slope of the Teton Range. It's certainly worse now than it was then.
