Orographic Opportunities




One ubiquitous sign of resilience here are the mountains. They protect our valley from tornadoes and cyclones. They catch passing weather and keep our water table full. They provide fuel, food and medicine with the flora and fauna they house. Mountain streams enable successful farming here, and mountain pastures help keep ranch animals healthy.  For our modern culture, they offer a plethora of marketable activities for tourism which, in and of itself, is a wealth stream of opportunity for our community.
