National Forests, actually. That's where the high altitude terrain is in these parts.

Wendy Haskins and her friends have been trying to kick us off our public lands for decades.

This forest area is high altitude and apparently excellent for flight training...and not a national park.

Many of the high altitude landing locations are on mountain tops within BLM land, national forest or national parks. Those are the only locations on U.S. soil that are suitable for training our helicopter pilots for similar demands in places like Afghanistan.
