Hey there, I just finished the full loop(ww to glen aulin through pate valley-back to ww through ten lakes). we started the trip on the 1st and finished on the 9th(we took our time). July 1st was the first day of trail closure due to fire. at that point, rangers said the fire was not contained, but didn't seem too worried and it did not affect air quality(that i noticed).
