I am in Salida today and the air is downright foul even at high altitude. Rode the Monarch Crest Trail today because I can't wait until October or November for the air quality to improve. Not sure it was worth it. The usually stunning views were smothered in a brown haze. The air was smelly and caused my nose to run, a headache (taken care of with 2 ibuprofen), and seriously irritated my throat, lungs and eyes.
The main source of dangerous smoke levels is the Pacific Northwest - BC, Alberta, California, Washington state and Montana. Smoke plume with air quality monitoring data and fire locations.
