It was a warm and beautiful day up to Baden-Powell, but unfortunately smokey due fire(s).   At the peak, you’ve climbed above much of the smoke and haze but you definitely can smell the smoke for most of the trail.
It was not heavy smoke by any means so we made the decision to continue but for anyone with high sensitivity, you might pass.
I’m unsure what fire was main contributor, possibly the Holly fire or one near Palmdale. It was a reminder to not just check weather status but fire stats before leaving.
