. Assessing the natural range of variability in minimally disturbed wetlands across the Rocky Mountains : the Rocky Mountain ReMAP project. Wetlands; Wet meadow ecology; Shrubland ecology; Flowers. •find safer terrain if yen tear thunder • moid [rets • avoid Lode; conductors • ^et in the lightning petition. Timing activities with safe weather require; knowlEdgE of and -Eoeui local weather p ran;. Tiers Is ud such thing as ^ surprise storm. You need to set turnaround times thai will get you Dff of expend terrain before' storms hit. You need to observe the than'ins weather and discuss irs status with yuur group. Logistical problems en route should alter whether you complete the paddle or the rlirnb. not whether you get exposed during a storm. Begin your turnaround if you hear thunder (which mean; lightning is one to ten miles away.) In calm air you can hea: thuuder for about ten miles. In turbulent air ydu can heat the thunder for five miles' In a driving stDim yon may only hear it out to one mile. Some parries in rain stomas have been struck before [bey heard any thunder at all. Safer terrain m the backenumry can decrease your chances of being stnirl-s. High pointed terrain attracts lisfhtmng to [lie high points, and even [0 [be terrax around it. Avoid peaks, ridges, and significantly higher ground duixg an electrical stDtii. If you have a choke, descend a mountain du the side [hat has no clouds Dver it. since strikes will be rare du that side until [he clouds move over ir Once you ge[ down to low rolling terrain, suites are so random yon shouldn't worry about terrain as much. If you are exposed to lightning, you need to get x the lightning position as sdoo as possible, which obviously means you s[op moving to safer terrain at thai point Many people have ched while upright and walking to safe: terrain, but no one has died while stopped in the lightning position. Move to Eafe: terrain as soon as you hear [blinder, udi when the storm is upon you
