Any smoke/fire impacts of San Jacinto's desert side?

Any impacts on the desert side of the San Jacinto Mtns from the recent fires and the smoke?

I haven't been up that side of th hill in summertime in a few years, thought this weekend might be a good time to do the 'tourist' route since the Tram will be closing for its yearly maintenance period, and the State park might shut down, too. :wink:

No, it's fine here, although the views from higher elevations are/were impacted. Other than that, it's been very humid for the past 48 hours so be prepared to sweat!

Thanks Marknhj. Probably catch the first tram up on Sunday so I can beat the traffic on the trail.

Very, very light smoke down here by the OC beaches. The moon takes on a light orange glow as it rises and sets in the PM and AM (respectively) but its bright white most of the evening/early morning.
