We were thinking about a trip to NM up to Co. starting at Las Vegas NM, and was wondering about the forest fires in that area? Could we miss them and the smoke this weekend. thanks

I think your ok . The only one Im aware of is over in Los Alamos

There is a major one (burned over 9000 acres so far) above Santa Fe working it's way towards the ski slope area. It's about 4 miles from my home in the mountains. The 30 mph + winds are causing major problems.

The one in Los Alamos may cause an evac situation to develop for the entire laboratory.

The smoke is getting pretty bothersome. 285 may be impacted by the Los ALamos fire but I-25 is not under any threat at this time.

Do you think the smoke will effect riding on 518 to Tres Ritos? How about Espanoia ? thanks for the help

yes, the smoke will be a factor, but not enought to stop the trip....the major roads are open at this time.....
