Terrain Flying

Today the weather was finally good enough to get into the valleys and canyons to practice what they call "Terrain Flying". The idea is to safely position yourself to fly up a valley or canyon when the weather is forcing you to stay low. The idea is to always be able to turn around and return if things are not as good as expected.

Plus, it is beautiful flying! Especially right after the snow we got yesterday!
