Sahale Arm conditions

[Rad]

Thinking about taking the family up the Sahale Arm toward the end of the month Can anyone comment on smoke, water availability, snow conditions to the summit, etc?

Thx

Quite smokey up the Cascade River yesterday, but it is raining today so who knows what it will be like in a couple weeks. Wind direction will be key.

I would not recommend going there until the fire is out, that area was very smokey even when raining, and even with wind blowing away from the pass on Tuesday. Smoke is worst over 5000 feet. Also there's probably only glacier ice left, like everywhere else.
