West Coast Flying Adventures blog takes off

By Janice Wood · May 23, 2010 ·

The words “flying” and “adventure” naturally go together, but they conjure up different images and journeys for each pilot. For Ney Grant, flying adventures mean the pursuit of outdoor adventure using a Cessna T210 filled with bikes, climbing equipment and camping gear. From canyoneering in the canyons of the southwest, climbing Mt. Hood in the Northwest, and family backpacking in the central Sierra Nevada mountains, it’s obvious he gets maximum utility from his plane.

His site, WestCoastFlyingAdventures.com, journals these adventures throughout the western US. Sometimes alone, sometimes with his family, Grant does a good job of capturing his adventures and flights with his camera. Looking for outdoor adventure? You may find some ideas at his site.
