Northern(ish) California hiking options during current fires/smoke

August 10, 2018 4:38 PM

I'd been sick and cooped up in my urban house for a couple of weeks, and need a change of scenery now that I feel better. I desperately want to go overnight camping and day hiking somewhere within 4-5 hours of the SF area. Where can I go that isn't heavily smoke impacted right now? I'm aware that not having state park campground reservations will be an issue in mid-summer, and I'm assuming that I'll either need to find a private campground or camp in national forest or BLM land or the like. My schedule can be flexible so this is likely a mid-week trip.
