Scenic View

Summer

This launch site in Golden is a favorite of local outfits for a reason. With scenic views, good air currents and a reasonably short (if steep) 15-minute hike up, flyers are all but guaranteed a great experience. Great for all levels, but ideal for beginners.

Highlights

Great views, relatively easy access, rides that typically last between 5 and 20 minutes.

Suitable For Hang Gliding

Yes

Hazards

Typical of the average paragliding launch: excessive wind, atmospheric instability, rain/snow, uneven terrain, etc. Beginners should always fly tandem with a certified outfit.
