Crawford Mountain, Utah, 7/11/2024

Post by krryerson »

If interested, you can watch a preview video, essentially a flight report of our trip to Crawford Mountain, Utah, on Thursday, July 11. We had planned to have many longer flights at Cowboy Up in Texas, but due to a hurricane hitting Wharton, TX, we changed our plans and decided to leave Texas for the Rockies. I'll create a more detailed video later when I return home.
Enjoy!

Last time we flew there, the mosquitoes were so bad in the LZ, you had to leave your harness on to tear down your glider.

We had no problems with the mosquitos, but a few horse 🪰 was all we had to worry about.

I was initially planning to fly in Texas at Cowboy Up, but due to Hurricane Bari, I couldn't. Instead, we traveled up to the Rockies, visited national parks, and ended up flying hang gliding at Crawford Mountain in northern Utah.
If interested, here is a "fast-edited" YouTube video of "Crawford Mountain Hang gliding and the Journey to get there."
