On the Tahoe Rim Trail above California SR 89 looking north. The mountains on the skyline are the Sierra Nevada crest above the Squaw Valley ski resort. We lucked out--altho it was still hazy, the wildfire smoke had thinned out enough to make a hike possible! The Forest Service had also re-opened the forest to day use--it had been completely closed for a couple of weeks due to the high fire danger. The smoke has returned in a big way today (the 21st) because the winds are again from the west and southwest.
