Check first

Check conditions before you go

Open, but check conditions first. A fire is burning about 15 miles away. Easy outings are fine; save the big push for a clearer day.

Why: 6 fires within 50 mi

Wind from the WNW at 8 mph, 46°F — blowing the nearby fire’s smoke across, not at, the park

Conditions change fast and this data can be delayed or estimated. Treat this as guidance, not a guarantee, and check official sources and agency and AirNow alerts before you go.

About this data

AQI from EPA AirNow monitors, and where none is close, the nearest EPA-corrected PurpleAir community sensor (labeled as an estimate). Refreshed through the day. Managed by U.S. Forest Service. Wind from Open-Meteo. Fire data from NIFC WFIGS. Smoke analysis from NOAA HMS. Boundaries from USGS PAD-US 4.0. Where no sensor is anywhere near, we say so rather than guess.
