Wind River Range Flight Video

Video of my flight from Lander, WY to Dubois, WY the other day along the eastern slope of the Wind River Range. A lot of beauty in a 30 minute ride.

Re: Wind River Range Flight Video

Thanks guys. A buddy told me I should post the altitude at which most of the video and pictures were taken--10,500 ft. Helps put the big rocks in a little better perspective.

Selected your video as a travel brochure to persuade the wife into Wyoming for R/R this summer!

Good video, Mahalo!

Re: Wind River Range Flight Video

Thanks, 8G, I appreciate it. However, it's a little like the pictures I got from rafting the Grand Canyon--the subject matter is so pretty that it makes up for the deficiencies of the photographer.

Keep in touch if you find your way to Wyoming. I'll do the same if I ever make it back to Hawaii (Kauai is one of my favorite places on earth).

Hi Ranch Pilot,

I really admire the videos. Will PM you if we can get that far!

You are totally welcome to hang out on my boat at Ala Wai harbor or Kona (Honokohau). I just got out of the water at Kaiser's surf break this morning, great Wx here.
