Adventure Paragliding

About

Adventure Paragliding operates in Glenwood Springs, offering tandem flights over the Roaring Fork Valley. The company has provided these services since 2002, with over 10,000 flights recorded. Flights launch from Red Mountain, which sits at an elevation of 5,793 feet. Passengers walk down an incline to lift off, rather than jumping. The activity is rated as moderate difficulty and typically lasts about two hours. The operational season runs from March through November. Flights generally occur in the morning to utilize thermal currents. USHPA-certified instructors handle the flying, so no prior experience is required for passengers. The service is pet-friendly and provides on-site parking. Flights offer views of the Colorado River, Glenwood Canyon, and Mount Sopris. Weight limits are set at 240 pounds per person.
