Got to enjoy a new mountain spot with SW CO locals. Drive and Fly conditions located off highway 149 at 10,000 feet. One may wonder why it took so many years to be discovered by kiters, but a look on a map will reveal this highway is hidden in the heart of the state, with no direct access without driving around a mountain range. Awesome place, the nearby town is Creede, and it is surrounded by the amazing San Juans.
So far the local kiters have had consistent and strong mountain winds up there. It blew the last few days every day. Yesterday we had high 20mph winds, lit on 9-12m kites. Huge wide valley with slopes and terrain on both sides. Wind seems to funnel both north and south. Definitely on a road tripping hit list... chalk up another easy access mountain spot!
Windzup,
