30 Minute Glider Ride
I took a 30 minute glider ride. The owners, Sarah and Jason did a great job. Jason was the glider pilot and Sarah flew the tow plane. The view was spectacular. Only wind noise in the glider. The cockpit is tight, but you ride up front in a tandem configuration with a huge canopy, so you can see in all directions. It was a great experience.

Unforgettable! We are hooked!
Amazing experience! Sarah and Jason were friendly and relaxed while being thorough and safety conscious. Beautiful area. The perfect place to experience gliding. Reasonable pricing for an adventurous afternoon. Well worth it. We will definitely be back for lessons. We are hooked!

If you are considering it, go gliding!
This was an unforgettable experience. If you are considering it, go gliding!! We were staying nearby and saw their sign. We dropped by out of curiosity, and it turned out they could fit us in (we were incredibly lucky! You should reserve in advance). Jason and Sarah were so warm, kind, and knowledgeable about the geography and the history of the area, and of course about gliding. It was amazing. Flying through the air like that-- just an incredible experience, and hard to describe how it changes your perspective of the earth below. Also, I'm afraid of heights, and this was not an issue at all. You will love it. It's not scary, just exhilarating and beautiful.
