Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Air quality

Hello every one. Has any one gone up the main trail in the las two days? How was the air quality is it been really affected by the fire, or is it doable? Thanks.

Was at the portal yesterday. Air quality isn't bad, but that could be because I'm used to the air in L.A.

Thank you homerthejedi. I guess I should be ok, I'm from LA as well. The air should feel like I'm home.

This is dmatt and I was up at Onion Valley today at 11 am; Onion Valley is right above and near both the Seven Pines and the Oak Creek fires; I did a PM10 reading and the air is fine with good visibility; the road has been closed but now it is open all the way. So the air quality will be even better over at the Portal.
