My sister wanted to go skydiving for her birthday and she picked Skydive the Wasatch. And I am so glad she did! We brought my husband and my sister in law along and we all had a really great time. The cost is great, it is close by where we live, and it was beautiful. Not only that but the energy of the people there skydiving with you was so positive and happy. We will actually be going back for another jump!
