Learn moreA genuinely cold, high-elevation winter climate
Lyman sits at 6,706 feet elevation, with a coldest-month (January) average low of 19°F and high of 33°F, and an annual range running approximately 18°F-85°F -- freezing, snowy, and windy winters typical of high-desert southwest Wyoming (base record).
Wyoming's real, statewide-elevated wildfire risk applies
Wyoming carries a real, current #2-among-the-lower-48 wildfire-risk ranking per ClimateCheck, driven by hot, windy summers -- this record applies that statewide basis to Lyman, though no Lyman-specific ranking was independently confirmed this pass (base record).
A genuinely low tornado and earthquake profile
Southwest Wyoming's high desert terrain carries genuinely limited tornado exposure relative to the state's eastern reaches, and this pass did not develop a Lyman-specific earthquake citation -- both disclosed as real, low-confidence negatives rather than confirmed zeros (base record).
A real, disclosed research gap on flood risk
This pass's research budget was exhausted before a Lyman-specific flood-hazard figure could be independently confirmed -- a real, disclosed gap; confirm current FEMA flood-zone data directly for a specific target property.
