Follow me along the Wasatch front and above the mountain peaks!
( You can “right click” and open image in new tab to enlarge. )

Looking west towards the city of Orem and Provo Utah. The pilot in front
of me is Val and he is getting ready to fly his Wills Wing HP. The letters HP
stand for High Performance. Fun times ahead!

Using a thermal to climb in altitude. I was first to launch today and be
what we all joke about – “the launch dummy”. Lift is in my favor today.
Look closely at the bottom right. Pilots are lining up to launch.

Looking north towards Mt. Timpanogas, you can see the famous …
“Point of the Mountain” – (lower ridge moving left of my hang strap).
The Great Salt Lake Valley is North. I’m looking over my shoulder to
see if the flash of my camera is working. With a little more altitude I
will cross Provo Canyon and continue to fly north heading for S.L.C.

You can now see the road that heads east up Provo Canyon towards
“Deer Creek Reservoir”. The mountain range on the other side of the
road is known as the “Cascades”. Launch is just outside of the photo
to the right.

Looking east now towards “Deer Creek Reservoir” and in the distance
the snow capped mountains known as the “High Uintahs”. A fun place
for doing all kinds of mountain activities. Snowmobiling in the winter
and camping in the summer.

Moving north along Mt. Timpanogas and feeling good because most
of the thermal activity has been very smooth and easy to follow.

Here I am at 15,700 ft. with plenty of altitude. What a great view and
having the glider perform the way it was designed to function.

One step at a time or should I say … One Peak At A Time. Lone Peak
is just above my helmet in the picture, and Draper Utah is below me
now. Time to head for “Twin Peaks” and “Mt. Olympus” if you are
following along with the Peaks.

Looking up Little Cottonwood Canyon towards Snowbird and Alta Ski
Resorts. Also, further east are the High Uintahs. I am at 16,400 feet
according to my flight deck and the altimeter.

Still climbing, the altimeter showing me over 17,300 ft. at this point.
This makes it easy to go any direction I want. Maybe I should head
for Wyoming and make this flight an extended cross country high
adventure. How about Bountiful, Ogden, Brigham, maybe Logan?
University of Utah – too easy. Too much fun! Would you agree?

Here is a picture of the glider I have been flying. In this particular
photo, it was taken at “Commodore Peak” for an article that was
written in a local magazine for those who live in the Tooele Valley.
( Pronounced … “Two Ella” Valley. ) – More fun in the sun!
