Mile-Hi Skydiving Center - Longmont, Colorado
Longmont, which is only 12 miles from Boulder, 15 1/2 miles south of Loveland, and 35 miles northwest of Denver, is another popular skydiving destination. Apart from jumping out of a plane, there are a plethora of things to see and do in the region. From 18,000 feet, the views are breathtaking, and when you're not jumping, you can explore some of the country's most stunning hiking routes. Sports jumpers will feel right at home in this drop zone.
The skydiver will not be short on breathtaking vistas while descending gently to earth by parachute, from the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Long's Peak to the verdant farmlands that surround Longmont. The plains of the Midwest open up to the skydiver's view on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, providing a study in contrasts. Unless you enjoy frigid weather, this is probably a site to visit in the summer. The air above 12,000 feet can be unpleasant at any time of year, but it can be very cold in Colorado during the winter.
