This was a smoke day classified as ‘moderate’ by EPA’s smoke website to give you an idea of conditions here when you see that rating. I've added a short video of the hike below..
Smoke: from the viewpoints we could only see the outline of Pyramid and Colonial peaks. Same with Sourdough scross the lake. No breathing trouble though and I have asthma.
bugs: yellow jackets at the viewpoints were a pest
wildflowers: only some pearly everlasting, hardhack and fireweed.
Wildlife: saw three teenage spruce grouse chicks and thier mom!
