Avoiding forest fire smoke - driving distance travel options

[ExtraSlow]

Have a camping trip to Nakusp planned for a week from now, and given how the thick forest fire smoke affects two members of my family, I'm looking at other options. Doesn't have to be camping. Hotels fine too.

Suggestions of places to go within about 9 hours drive of Calgary that will have less smoke
Or places that have more indoor activities? Spending all day in the smoke today would probably put me in the hospital.

Head to Whitefish, take in the lake life.

It's pretty far, can't even see the sun in Saskatoon today from it. Last weekend I was on Waskesiu and Creen lakes and you couldn't see across them at all.

Whitefish is awesome, but isn't it about the same smoke level?

Shoot, you're right I was looking at a forecast a little further east from there.

Its better than here, but its still not great for anyone with sensitivities.

I head down there next weekend as well.

Doesn't matter as there's lots of fires in Washington and Oregon, they don't need to import smoke.

12hrs... but kenora, first non-shitty prairie destination to the east

EDIT: nvm! They have smoke too

just pray for rain, it'll knock the smoke down everywhere... changing locations wont guarantee you anything

I just came back from Calgary - Glacier National park in Montana - Oregon Coast - Mount rainier national park - Seattle and it was literally smoky everywhere but the Oregon coast..

Don't worry, he doesn't believe in climate change, so no eco-tax.

Just finished camping at Nakusp hot springs and area for a week it was clear and sunny plus the drive from Nakusp to cherryville was clear skies. Might be different now pending on the wind direction

[ercchry]

We’re almost up to half a pack today!

[mr2mike]

Gotta drive to Vancouver Island if you want blue skies.
Confirmed.

According to this map, I should head to the refineries for cleaner air.
