                         DETERMINING FIRES, SMOKE PLUMES, 
​                                      AND WHERE NOT TO GO.




You will find a way to determine where to go hiking because there is no smoke, fires, or pollutants.

The catch to using this system is it’s not simple, but doable.
There are four websites to use to plan your trip.
They tell you about the 2.5 particulate matter, wind direction, wind speeds, fire locations, closures, satellite views from space, smoke plums, weather, and much more.

When the fires kick up, and we still want to hike, these tools can help us to determine our hiking location.

Now it’s up to you.
Days before your planned your hike, go to each of those websites and do your research. Do screenshots of changing data, each day leading up to your trip, check these site and compare yesterday to today. This will form a pattern. One you can use to plan a successful hike.

Take the time to learn which features on each website are useful to you. 

And remember something that Benjamin Franklin once said…

                                           “IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN…YOU ARE PLANNING ON FAILING.”
