today, Friday, the eastern side of the park is completely smoked out! The smoke is THICK and nasty! However, it changes throughout the day. The wind shifts and the smoke clears sometimes in minutes. Right now it just happens to be blowing on east glacier and to the north.

The fire will burn until the snow/rain put it out, but it looks to me like we saved all the structures. That could change if the weather changes. East Glacier so far is safe as well.
