Is skydiving something you need to cross off your bucket list? A tandem skydive is the perfect way to experience the rush of jumping from an airplane at 13,000 feet! Perfect for the first timer, you will have a highly experienced tandem instructor guiding you through the entire process. The trip will begin with a road trip to the outfitter where we will spend a night in a hotel. Early the next morning we will begin the skydiving portion of our adventure. After skydiving we will head to a lake or river where we will set up for camping and have an opportunity to explore with a paddleboard.

This three-hour long hike is approximately 3 miles round trip, 500 vertical feet of climbing and is rated as moderate. In observance of COVID-19 restrictions, bring your own water, a snack, mask and wear appropriate attire. Meet at the Ellis trailhead in the Sandia mountains at 5:30 p.m.
