As Nick Greece passed over the southern foothills of the Wind
River Range and into Wyoming’s Red Desert, he glanced down at his instruments
and realized that he was on pace to break the North American paragliding
distance record.

With the sun setting on Aug. 7, Greece and wingman Jon Hunt landed between
Wamsutter and Rawlins, 204.6 miles from where they had started earlier in the
afternoon, atop Phillips Ridge near Teton Pass.

Their flight was long enough to beat Nate Scales’ 198-mile record set only a few
days earlier.

That would be the American hillside launch record.
