Headed up towards the fires today to do a mini Kaslo loop. Nope, got part way, then turned around. A localized storm laid up ahead... when we stopped we could hear the rolling thunder echoing off the mountains and the sky looked angry. Talked to some fellas who just rode through it and they said hail was really pounding down. They spoke too of the thick smoke they rode through and that sounded even worse. Not good for anyone thinking of riding through these parts.
