If you are sensitive to smoke be warned that the smoke in Yosemite from the control burns is really, really, really bad! The smoke from the Grouse Creek fire blows up into Yosemite Valley around 11am and it is really thick. I had some friends visiting and they had to leave as they were having reactions to the smoke. The smoke settles into the El Portal and Yosemite View Motels area in the evening.

These fire will continue to burn for days if not weeks.

It is really bad up in Tuolumne Meadows in the afternoon as you are getting smoke from the Grouse Creek Fire and the Harden Lake fire.

The 1st to photos show the Grouse Creek Fire above Hwy 41 and you can see El Capitan on the left with Yosemite Valley smack behind the fire. The 2nd photo shows the smoke already saturating Yosemite Valley this morning on 7/3/09
