I fly for the joy and freedomthe views are mesmerizing, says
25-year paragliding veteran Jon Hunt, who along with photographer Nick Greece
flew for 200 miles on this seven-hour flight in August 2012, setting a distance
record in the U.S. They launched out of Wilson, Wyoming, and flew for seven
hours, passing the Teton Range, the Gros Ventre Range, and the Wind River Range
to finish near Rawlins, Wyoming.
Over the last 60 miles we flew over the amazing Red Desert of Wyoming, an
incredible wilderness of high-altitude desert featuring fantastic rock
formations and mineral deposits," recalls Hunt, who is based in Jackson,
Wyoming. This particular spot is amazing because of the remoteness and stark
beauty of the desert landscape, but our entire flight path is a new classic.
