Travel to Denver - Wildfires

Google “Colorado Wildfires.”

Surprisingly, I did that before asking the question but couldn’t find too much info. Was hoping someone on here either lives in the area or knows someone that does that would have some better guidance

Does anyone have any advice on traveling there

Stay home. Some days are smoky af and awful. Some, like today, are fine. I'd stay home.

Weird,
That’s what I’ve googled everyday for over 4 weeks for daily updates on the fires.

I’m in Denver now, and headed to Estes Park tomorrow. I started to monitor the AQI a few weeks ago and it seemed to improve day by day. However, now that we’re here, it’s supposed to be at dangerous levels later this week in Estes Park. And I’m in a sensitive group.

What I’m saying is that it’s unpredictable and hard to plan around, especially a few weeks out.

Just left Estes Park on Sunday morning. We stayed close to the Cameron Peak fire and was not affected by any smoke. You can see the smoke haze, but that's about it.

Went hiking on Saturday and tent camped two nights.

Snow flurries on Sunday morning as we were pulling out.

My pulmonologist at National Jewish Health in Denver - the best respiratory hospital in the country - said that the limit for AQI is 100. So if it’s higher than 100, sensitive groups should stay indoors. If you start to feel symptoms, it’s too late. You have to stay ahead of the game. Hope this helps!

Front is coming in so winds out of the north pushing it into the front range. Ash was on my car this morning and saw it falling from the sky at Deer Creek this morning.
