Wildfires

Here are two pictures of Mount McKinley. One was taken in May and was as clear as could be. The other pictures was taken today and with all the wildfires in Fairbanks and area the Denali area is cover in smoke. The winds have brought all the smoke into our area. There are some fires in the very back country of the Denali National Park but they are no threat here at the campground. The rule of thumb for the National Park service is that if there are no threat to humans or building they do not put out the fires. They say the fires out back should be out in October some time, meaning they hope the snow puts it out.
