OMG, I hadn't heard about this fire. We didn't get to Waterton on our Canada trip this year and was hoping to get there next summer. Looks like right now it's not the place to go. The most recent map showing the extent of the fire:
We encountered a lot of smoke during July on our trip but fortunately our planned route avoided most of the fire areas. The only place we had planned to go that was closed was Wells Gray PP. Don't think there was fire there but they were concerned about evacuating with only one road in and out.
Let's hope for some good snowpack this year!
