The Rocky Mountains are notorious for afternoon thunderstorms during the summer months. Hikers at the higher elevations in the Rockies should be especially conscious about the dangers of lightning. Lightning strikes occur more often at higher elevations in the Rocky Mountains where the air and climate is drier. On average, eleven people die from lightning each year in Colorado.
