We had a couple of days of rain a few weeks ago. Then it largely stopped. There has been heavy morning dew, at least just east of Springfield.
The fire camps are still busy.
I drove up HWY 126 a couple of days ago. There was hardly any smoke west of McKenzie Bridge, and only light smoke east of the town. I didn't see many visible signs of the fire.
Near McKenzie Bridge, all side roads appeared to be closed including road closed signs on HWY 242.
I presume parts of the road are open from the Sisters side, but not from the Springfield side.
It might not be a bad time to ride from the East side to the peak as there will be no through traffic. You would have to contend with slight hazy smoke, but likely not too bad.
