I decided to try my first glider ride here last summer. I took the 20 minute ride in the late morning when the thermals were moderate which, for me, was a perfect time to go. As a precaution, I took a motion-sickness pill before I went and I think it helped because there is some sudden ups & downs. Very... More

My 8 year old daughter went on a 20 minute (closer to 40 minutes) glider ride. She enjoyed it and would like to go back next time we are in Durango. More

This was a highlight of our trip to Durango. The glider is two seater, dual control plane with you sitting up front and the pilot sitting behind you.

I road in the glider twice, one was a couch ride, and one that was an acrobatic ride like a roller coaster! Truly a blast of you don't get motion sickness. And if you do just do the couch ride. More
