The Peak: The Peak is designed for ANY pilot from hungry P2 to the crusty P5. Starting Elings Flight Park you will hike (9-13mi) and fly your way to La Cumbre Peak, take a photo and submit to the USA Hike and Fly Telegram Group. Finally, make your way back to Elings for a photo finish (submitted to Telegram)! Choose your own adventure, there is no right or wrong way to reach the turn points as long as you only use your feet and paraglider for transportation. Hiking roads, trails, and bushwhacking are encouraged. With over 4,000ft of elevation gain, this course is a challenge, but you can do it! One aid station will be provided at the Inspiration Point trailhead with water and snacks. While you are not required to go that route, it is the only aid station we can guarantee. You are welcome to organize your own support in addition, or if you choose a different route.
Equipment Requirements: This is the minimum you need on you at all times, highly suggested you have more.
