Hi everyone! I’m planning to visit Mt. Rainier during the last week of August. I’ve been following the Sunrise Fire and am a little concerned about smoke and air quality.

For those who are local or have been there recently, would you recommend keeping the trip as planned, or would it be better to postpone? How bad can the smoke/air quality get around Sunrise and the main hiking areas?

I know conditions can change quickly, but I’d appreciate any advice or recent experiences. Thanks!
