I'm hearing from my son and cousin, through an InReach, that rangers are turning back hikers going south out of MTR due to the air quality because of smoke from the Rough Fire. I'm not certain if they talked with a ranger or heard from hikers who were turned around. They mention they have been told to exit over Piute Pass or down to Florence Lake. Anyone else have additional info? Would jumping back on the trail at Onion Valley be an option?
