Red Tail Paragliding is the Front Range’s dedicated paragliding school and outfitter. It provides professional paragliding instruction and bucket list flying experiences at the foothills of the Rockies in Boulder.
They build on a tradition of free flight in Colorado going back to 1989 with its second-generation instructor, Misha Banks. He grew up in Boulder and aspires to show off his hometown from a whole new perspective. Whether you want to fly for the day or a lifetime, you’re guaranteed a memory that you’ll never forget.
Paraglide Lessons & Tandem Flights

Red Tail Paragliding offers lessons suitable to every skill level. All it takes is an intro course to get your first flight. If you want to continue learning and become a certified pilot, Red Tail offers USHPA-certified pilot training programs in Boulder and Grand Junction. If you’d prefer to fly with a professional, we also offer tandem flights with the best pilots on the Front Range.
Intro Lessons: Find out what it feels like to soar like a bird with an exciting one or two-day lesson. With just a couple of hours of ground training in a soft grassy park, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge required for an unforgettable solo flight.
You’ll be shocked how quickly you progress through the initial training and how mellow your first flight of the beginner-friendly training hill is. Book a weekend course and discover the freedom of flight!
Pilot Certification Course: Become a safe and competent, certified pilot through one of Red Tail’s P2 programs. They offer pilot training programs in Boulder throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall from March – October. They also offer 9-day intensive training programs in the high desert outside of Grand Junction.
Discover your wings and fly for a lifetime, Red Tail offers free lifetime coaching after you receive your P2 license.

Tandem Flights: Fly with a professional and learn what paragliding is all about. This is a great way to understand how paragliding works, what flying feels like, and why you’ll want to learn to fly on your own. Flying is an incredible experience, why not share it with one of Red Tail’s friendly, highly-trained pilots?
Paragliding Tours: Travel the world with Red Tail Paragliding and fly paragliders in the most exotic locations you can imagine. Tours and P2 clinics are offered during the winter off-season to keep the passion flowing. Discover new cultures and explore new places from high.
