THIS 4TH OF JULY: keep the day FUN & ignite adventure, not wildfires!
Opt out of fireworks. Make sure stoves/matches/cigarettes etc. are extinguished. Avoid parking/driving on vegetation: even exhaust & underinflated/damaged tires can spark fires!
Have fun & leave no trace❤️

No campfire, no problem, try:
💡 LED lanterns/battery-powered lights.
🌌🔭 Stargazing, dark skies provide an incredible opportunity to identify constellations
📖 Cozy up with a good book & unplug

🔥 Don’t let cool temperatures fool you—wildfire season is year-round in the Eastern Sierra. 🌲
The Eastern Sierra faces a high wildfire risk due to:
💨 High Winds
💧 Low Humidity
🌾 Dry, Fire-Prone Vegetation
