What is the Flight Like?The adventure of a lifetime.
After a short hike from the parking area to the launch located next to the School of Mines M we will take 5-10 minutes to review launch, landing and the fundamentals of paragliders in flight. With all of the preparation completed we are finally ready to launch!With a few quick steps we will take flight over Golden, Colorado and enjoy a 5-15 minute descent back to the LZ. During the flight you will be seated in a comfortable harness with 360 degree views of the Golden, Colorado valley. We will be able to communicate during the flight. Flying with instructor assistance on the controls is not just allowed but recommended! After landing we will pack up the wing and revel in the fact we are one of the first generations to successfully explore unpowered flight
