Smokanagan

Climate change has caused increasing amounts and intensity of forest fires in British Columbia and Washington State. This day we were experiencing smoke in the Okanagan Valley from Winthrop in Washington State, way down in the Cascade’s as we would say….

The Columbia Gorge marks where the Columbia River splits the Cascade Range between the states of Washington and Oregon.
