DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Colorado, enter the county and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. The pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video, a hosted listing page and a parcel info sheet, with full resolution files of every view. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in Colorado. Dirt is $29 a parcel and Paydirt $79, or $199 a month for PayDirt Pro (20 Paydirt packs a month). Paydirt adds a contour map that shows which way the view faces, the road frontage hero, the infrared land health view, the full social kit with platform captions, a posting plan and silent reels, pop-out photos from nine directions, the interactive 3D explorer and the measured diligence layers.

Elevation is the product, and flat photos hide it.
Colorado land sells on the view and the climb. Five acre pieces in the San Luis Valley, mountain parcels off a forest road, ranchland out east where the only vertical feature is a windmill. What the buyer wants is the view line and whether a truck gets up the drive in March.
The four cardinal 3D views show which way the view faces, which is the most asked question on Colorado land, and the contour map shows the grade of the access.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel, everything below. Sage and pinyon, a two track in from the county road, and the range on the western horizon.
Everything in the pack
This is the whole Colorado delivery.
Every view below came back from one parcel, in about ten minutes, with no pilot and no site visit.
Where Colorado land actually trades.
These are the counties land buyers ask about most.
Any Colorado county works: type the parcel number, draw the boundary on the map, or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. Try your APN free, and if a parcel will not come up from its number you hear that before anything is charged.

Asked by people selling Colorado ground.
Which Colorado counties can you do?
Any Colorado county works. Send the county and the APN and DirtFlight renders the pack. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile instead. The pack comes back the same.
Do packs work for Colorado mountain, ranch and valley land?
Mountain and foothill acreage, high plains ranch and dryland farm ground, irrigated valley land, and rural subdivision lots in the San Luis Valley and the Front Range foothills. Typical uses there: mountain homesites, ranch and grazing land, recreational parcels, and irrigated hay and cropland.
Can a buyer see which direction the view faces?
That is what the four cardinal 3D views are for. Looking from each side shows what the parcel faces, where the range sits and whether a rise blocks it, which is usually the deciding question on mountain land.
Does it show whether the access road is drivable?
It shows what is there: county road, graded gravel, two track or nothing, plus the grade it climbs on the contour map. Whether a particular truck makes it in mud season is still a judgment call, and we do not pretend otherwise.
Colorado parcels have schedule numbers, so what exactly do I enter?
In Colorado, the number to look for is the parcel number or schedule number on the county record. Enter the county and the APN as it appears on the tax record, or a street address, and DirtFlight draws the boundary. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you are told before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a boundary file instead.
What can you tell about a Colorado tract from above?
Slope, aspect and the direction a view faces, the access road and its grade, aspen, pine and open parks, and irrigation ditches on valley ground. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
