Description
Wildfire Risk Management for Trip Leaders Wildland fires are becoming more frequent, more intense, and faster moving due to prolonged draught and more intense weather. Since CMC operates 3,000 trips a year, many for multiple days, the risks of a CMC trip encountering a wildfire is rising. The purpose of this paper is to offer best practices to trip planners and leaders for managing the risks of wildfires in the Colorado wilderness.
