Wildfire Woes

The California and Utah wildfire smoke seem to be blanketing the Grand Valley. I took a picture this morning, and the haze is not nearly as bad today as yesterday. Yesterday you couldn't make out the Grand Mesa's outline. Today you can see the mountain.

Here's this morning's view with the haze.

Here's the same view on a clear day.

Elaine, I hadn't thought about the smoke affecting Grand Junction. There is a big difference in the view. How far away are the fires from you? MOM

Most of the smoke has blown in from the LA fires and there is another wildfire about 4 hours to the south and west of us in Utah.
