Paragliding over Aspen



Celebrating Friday the 13th in Aspen, I took a running leap off Ajax Mountain! Thankfully Patrick, who's been paragliding in Aspen since he was 12, was right behind me. June 13th was a historic day with enough snow to open the mountain to skiers and thermals to take us up to 12,000 feet. We soared for 30 minutes over the mountain, town of Aspen, local hiking trails and rivers, then landed softly in a park. My bird's eye view of the Rockies was sublime!
