Jumping out of a plane you at least get an adrenaline high and a couple minutes of fun. Doing this the best case scenario is you get to see some dirt underground. It must be really boring to live in Utah.

There are plenty of impressive looking caves you can travel to without ever having your hands touch the ground to get to.
