Take part in activity that for many people is a huge bucket list item. If skydiving is on your list, with the beautiful scenery beneath you, Golden is a great place to take your first jump or your 100th. First things first you have about twenty minutes of ground training to give you an introduction to skydiving so you are well prepared for your trip. Once you’ve finished your ground training it’s time to get loaded into the plane and get ready for your exciting trip. This was #1 on my list of things to do, but the rest of the Weekend Getaways crew was a little hesitant to say the least. Once you're in there's no backing out. The plane ride to reach your final altitude at up to 10,000 feet before you jump takes about 20 minutes. Enjoy the ride and take some time to get excited. You're about to have the ride of your life, jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft for fun. Your first time you are strapped in to an experienced instructor so you don’t have to worry about anything but having fun. Take in all the views and enjoy the once in a lifetime experience of flying. Turns out our hesitant Weekend Getaways crew loved it too and it is unanimously our #1 activity for our favorite things to do.
