Smoke from several western wildfires blew into the valley on Labor Day obscuring the Tetons and lowering air quality.
A wildfire complex originating in the Salmon Challis National Forest and a blaze northeast of Boise have been contributing to the smoke.
The Moose Fire near Salmon Idaho has burned over 100000 acres since it began in mid-July.
The Ross Fork Fire in the Sawtooth National Forest has burned over 6000 acres and has prompted some evacuation concerns for small communities in that area.
More than 20 wildfires are burning in Idaho. In Wyoming only one small wildfire is burning in the Bighorn National Forest.
