Visitors | RMHPA

Welcome Visiting Pilots!

Visitors are welcome to join our deep blue Colorado skies - but beware: we have high altitudes, strong winds, lee-side flying, and rapid thunderstorms that must be taken seriously.

There is no fee for visitors flying RMHPA primary sites less than 5 days/year. If you fly our primary sites more than that, you need to be a full member.

Join some of our Telegram groups and ask for local advice.
