Tips and Tricks
STREAM WATCHING - While lightning strikes on mountains result in most fatalities, flash flooding in canyon country is the greatest danger. One thing you can watch for in slot canyons is the condition of any small streamlets that you see. If the water was initially running clear and then turns muddy, HEAD TO HIGH GROUND IMMEDIATELY! This change in water clarity can indicate a thunderstorm miles away setting up conditions for a flash flood.
Questions and Answers
I like the latest photo posted of American Fork in Utah. Good to get a picture out west again as well. My question is; are those mountains part of the Rocky Mountains?
Glad you approve of the new photo, I thought it was pretty cool too. In answer to the question on whether or not this was taken in the Rockies, sort of. American Fork is located in the Wasatch Range, which is the western-most edge of the Rocky Mountains in Utah.
