Paragliders in Utah

This past weekend we took our kids letterboxing, which is a kind of treasure hunting activity similar to geocaching. Our destination was Flight Park in Draper, Utah. As we were finishing up the letterboxing, people started showing up to paraglide, so we decided to sit back and observe. It was fun to watch them setup, take off, and then float around in the sky. Maybe someday I’ll get the nerve (and the permission from my wife) to give it a try.
