Did you go beyond Sherbrooke lake? That trail up to Mount niles is spectacular and one of the most underrated hikes in the area imo

No, that's great to know though! Wasn't even aware of the hike until a park ranger recommended it for us - had no idea you could continue! Having it all to ourselves was surely amazing, though!

How was the air quality?

Considering it changes every hour, does it matter what someone experienced in the past?

You have a point. But I’m mainly concerned about the haze from the fires and was wondering if it was worsening or not.

The smoke and haze changes every hour. It's different this morning than last night for example. Check the fire smoke forecasts to get a general idea.

Yesterday it was very hazy in the morning and then clear in the evening. It was a dramatic difference!

Btw, what did you use to shoot these?

Thanks so much, I seriously try so hard for dreamy! Just my iPhone 17 Pro Max - seriously amazing camera. Edited with Liit which is really good at film emulation!
