Smoke Clogging Yosemite Valley – Air Unhealthy

| August 29, 2009

Smoke from the Big Meadow fire is clogging the Valley again and is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups. It’s not so bad lower down but there’s a thick layer hanging about. If you have any kind of breathing problems you might want to think twice about heading into the Valley. Visibility is severely impeded as you pass through the hanging smoke into the Valley. Use your headlights if you’re driving into the Valley.
