There are a number of web sites that help people heading for the outdoors.
The one I use the most it the smoke plume web site (yes, it’s getting pretty bad). SSD Fire Detection Program.
Yellowstone Park Wildland Fires
U.S. air quality (suggestion by Mike Post)
GeoMAC Wildfire Information (suggestion by Buffaloed)
