Montana has been slower than Utah, Nevada, and Idaho for wildfires, but they are underway now. Story in New West.

  1. I contacted the park today. Looks like it’s smoke from the Oregon/Washington fires. The info attendant didn’t sound very pleased with the situation.

  2. That’s the way it will be the rest of the summer unless there is an unusual mid-summer shift to wet and cool (the last time I remember that happened in Idaho and Montana was 1992).

  3. That’s what I am expecting. Bummer, but that’s nature right now. It was like this last late July/August too, until mid September. Definitely circular polarizer time.
