Canyon jump at MOAB

[kallend 2,032]

I took this on a jump we made into the Colorado River canyon at the MOAB Boogie. If you look closely you can see 3 4 canopies in the air.

pretty cool.. awesome view

I saw 3 canopies, comment at flicker says 4 (?)

I'll have to make that next year :)

how does all that work? do they have a clearly marked, designated landing area or just say (~) land somewhere along this road and we'll pick you up (?)

Incredibly clear and awesome picture.

Fourth canopy is below and to the right of the other canopy in the upper right hand corner of the frame. Top of the canopy is right at the ridgeline. Took me a bit to see it too.

There are 4, 2 in the center (below the horizon) 1 on the right (above the horizon) and one just a hair under the horizon and a little further to the right (down and right from the third one)

Look closely and you can see 2 in the top right corner.
Sweet picture

Yes, I didn't spot the 4th until after I had posted here, but I fixed it on Flickr.

The jump was into the Sorrel River Ranch. They have about 2 acres of grass to land in (we took in a 16-way RW). Golf carts picked us up and took us to the bar, on the banks of the Colorado River!

Great pics! Thanks for posting here and on Facebook.

I saw some pictures of a few gentlemen who normally do not pack for themselves at the DZ. Did they remember how?

Yes, everyone got their canopies in the bag
