North USA speed Flying Locations

Submitted by madhouserjd

 

Hi, I am in Indiana (disapointingly flat) for two weeks with a wing and a car and can travel around a bit. Can anyone tell me where the nearest decent mountains/flying terrain is in any direction? I could go into Canada if needed.

I don't have a huge grasp of american mountain ranges!

Cheers all

Yosemite National Park - It is Illegal to Fly and BASE jump any where within the boundaries.

Where to fly in the area - a little way down the Merced River Canyon, as it is Sierra or Stanislas National Forest land.
