19:04:35 From  Pamela Davies  to  Everyone : September is really beautiful for this section, and lots of larch. But what do you recommend for planning around wildfire smoke?
19:25:16 From  Mearl & Caroline  to  Everyone : is the narrow exposed section more psychological or is there real risk?
	CHERYL:  It's mostly going to be a concern for people who are afraid of heights, though on some parts the steep drop AND eroded trail bed will require some careful stepping.  If snow is present there IS a real risk however.
19:28:25 From  Ava L.  to  Everyone : Wonderful info, thank you! Love harts pass, so worth the drive up!

	CHERYL:  Yes, I found news about a 2018 fire south of Holman Pass that closed the PCT for awhile.

19:52:36 From  Pamela Davies  to  Everyone : The bad section on Harts Pass is sometimes OK and sometimes terrible, You can check the condition at the website. I usually call and talk to the Ranger Station too — I only go up if it is not too awful. Its scary! https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/okawen/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprd3820244
