I drove from Horseshoe Bend to Donnelly today. Arrived in Donnelly at 7am and it was 36 degrees – I realized that I’m NOT ready for Fall!!! Lots of smoke settling into the valleys in the cool air. I shot this pic on my phone as I was driving home in the evening. It’s looking east from Hwy 55. You can see the main column of smoke rising from the hill in the background.
Below is a graphic of the fire activity as of today in central Idaho. Yellow areas are areas already burned and red dots are activity during the previous 24 hours.
If you are floating anywhere in the area of the Salmon (Main or Middle Fork) it would be a good idea to check HERE.
