I Know Everyone Was Worried................

..................so I went ahead and calculated the landslide hazard risk in a 250 square mile area in the Gallatin Mountains. I then compiled this into a handy map that you should carry with you at all times. We don't want anyone to get hurt due to the down-slope movement of unconsolidated surficial material. Remember, this area resides in a unique geologic setting where volcanic epiclastic deposits reside over tilted sedimentary and metamorphosed bedrock, which pretty much spells disaster.
