Skydive Empire is a great alternative for fun jumpers looking for a relaxed DZ to jump in Northern Colorado. The King Air is comfortable, and the jump tickets are reasonable. You get to land right next to the packing hangar, and there are literally infinity safe out places to land around the DZ, as it is mostly surrounded by fields. The best thing about Empire, however, is the friendly and relaxed atmosphere! Camping right on the DZ, dogs welcome, and a bonfire! (I do not have anything to do with Skydive Empire, but I DO like jumping there)
