There have been fires in Yosemite National Park, we are getting mixed reports about visability & smoke. Have you been in the last week? If so would you recommend we travel to Yosemite in the next few days? Where should be avoided?

Thanks y'all!

Just to update you! (Anyone that is reading this thread other than us!!!!!) Yosemite is OPEN! Yeahhhh! However there is scorch damage, and the grocery store and facilities in the Valley didn't have electricity (today anyway).

Thanks for the update (you're not just posting to yourself!)! As much as I wanted to help you out we were there nearly 1 year ago exact and I didn't have any better information than you probably came across online. I'd heard that the valley was running on generators but I hadn't known the fires had breached the park boundaries--I still thought they were about 15 miles away.

Hope you're enjoying your time down there. We had a blast with/without the smoke (they were doing controlled burns during our stay to prevent wild fires from spreading rapidly...guess it's a good thing they did). We'll look forward to reading your blog of your trip! Happy travels!
