Be advised that the Rough Fire in Kings Canyon NP and surrounding areas is still very much in play and that there is a LOT of smoke; check this site for updates:

There are several active fires all over the western states, and all of them that may impact your visit may not be listed on Inciweb if they're managed by another agency, e.g., Cal Fire in California. Check the Cal Fire incident site for current information:

This is a *terrible* fire year in many areas of the west, and it pays to stay aware of what's currently burning!
