I just found this site today, been smelling smoke and thinking myself a crazy woman in Vancouver WA using my portable oxygen, but, looking at your map, I see “not crazy”, will reference now for daily planning. Thank you!

I have plans to come stay in White Fish this Thursday thru the following Tuesday to hike in Glacier National Park. With what I’m reading about the air quality and being 67 years old I have been thinking that I might be better off postponing that trip to a future year. Your thinking would be appreciated.
