Overlooking the Lucky Peak Reservoir you get to enjoy views of mountains, water and folks enjoying their time on the water! Flying a drone here requires a Special Use Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers which is worth it for views like these!

Landscape looking like Windows background image is some wind turbines in American Falls Idaho! At a total height of a bit over 400 feet tall you can see these spinning in the wind with a contrast of farm land and mountains making a rather beautiful sight!

Idaho Falls is a mix of beauty and sound with the powerful river water falls going through the city, it is the 4th most populated city in Idaho. Within the falls is a Japanese Friendship Garden using the river to flow through a variety of smaller waterways allowing you to enjoy peacefulness while within the city.

Beyond the falls themselves there is also the Museum of Idaho offering many different exhibits everything from how Idaho's landscape came to be, history of the travels and settling of folks in the state as well as displays on what towns in Idaho looked like in the early days. Idaho falls is definitely worth a visit!

A little unknown spot in Idaho called Moonstone Landing has always been a very quiet place to stop on the way to Craters Of The Moon National Monument & Preserve. It was our 2nd time stopping here and it was a huge surprise to spot a herd of Pronghorns!

Welcome to the "Caribbean of the Rockies" Bear Lake seen from Garden City Utah! Despite some smoke from wildfires the view of this clear blue water and the mountains is breathtaking! Bear Lake is about 109 square miles in size and is split between Idaho and Utah with a max depth of 208 feet. On the northern part of the lake is the Bear Lake State Park- North Beach where we stopped first allow you to drive and park your car right on the beach for easy access to the water!

Here's some interesting information about yesterdays post of North Pond and South Pond in Woodstock Maine!

As a drone pilot it's very important to check the airspace where you intend to fly prior to launching. This particular flight was my first time flying near a MTR (Military Training Route) while legal to fly here, it requires a lot of attention to details when it comes to checking for any TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) as well as keeping your eyes and ears open for any air traffic.

Two methods I use to check airspace is a website/ app called Air Control, this shows information that applies to drone operations, it's a quick and easy way to see what kind of airspace you're in and if you need to get clearance to fly there. The other one I check is a website called Skyvector, this website shows the Aeronautical Charts that manned aircraft uses, these show the types of airspace, MTRs, highly populated areas, locations of tall towers & their height, but most importantly the website gives you quick access to any TFRs.

This is just a small look into the things I, as a commercial drone pilot have to look into before I can fly to bring all of you great pictures!

Beautiful views of North Pond, South Pond and Mt Abram Ski Area & Bike Park from Woodstock Maine! Plenty of winter activities to make the cold days go by faster with even a figure 8 race track on the ice!
