Back in the 1970’s, Mount Ascutney in Vermont was a leading location for those experimenting with hang gliders. To this day, there are side trails off of the four primary trails up and down the mountain that lead to launch sites.
From the observation tower at the top of the mountain, I spotted the tiniest dot in the big sky, a rainbow wing of a paraglider.
(To Pat, the nice park ranger I met up there, who was asking about the difference betweeen a paraglider and a parasail, I apologize for getting it backwards. This is a paraglider, a parasail is typically towed behind a boat. My bad!)
Click on it. Blow it up, I’m giving everyone the full-sized file.
We’re looking east, across the Connecticut River into New Hampshire. I believe that’s Mount Monadanock in southern New Hampshire.
As good as this view was, I’ll bet that our flyer had a better one.
