Anyone just leaving or currently at one of the polling National Parks...Sequoia, Yosemite, Lassen, or Crater Lake.... Just trying to get a first hand opinion of the risk of fire and how bad is the smoke or haze currently...We have a drive and camp coming up and I gotta say Im concerned as Lassen Volcanic National Park is right now in the bullseye of the Camp Fire and Crater Lake seems to be close.

Thanks

I live by Crater Lake and it's not bad, visibility is still fine and the air quality is improving. As long as you're not overly sensitive it's not issue around here for now.

Most NP park websites have webcams. That will give you an indication of current air quality and visibility conditions.

There are also websites that track fire and smoke down to a fairly specific area.

Thank you captain obvious. The webcams are not very clear as they are not sharp at all...Just general info. All the fire and smoke sites on the internet CALfire and or Inclweb are also very general. Truth is they help but I thought someone there or near there would be better source.

Redwoods NP on the coast is pretty awesome as well. Hike fern canyon and see the elks. Original Star Wars Endor scenes filmed there.
