I thought I would share that on the last two nites of our hike, last Sunday and Monday, there was quite a bit of smoke coming over the Palisades from the Tepihite Fire in NW Kings Canyon. It has evidently been flaring up, and now covers about 4500 acres. It's a "let burn" area between 5500-6500', in steep canyons. The Forest Service has a fire bulletin web page with a .pdf file showing the trail closures in the area.

Re: Tepihite Fire
It's quite smoky further north too. I could see smoke all week from various points on an epic 7 day backpack.
