Embark on a high-flying adventure and soar over the stunning Colorado mountains with this Ultimate Boulder Glider Ride!
Get a unique, bird’s eye view of the jagged Flatirons, Green Mountain, and the snow-capped Rockies on this incredible scenic glider flight!
Your action-packed day will begin when you meet up with your FAA certified pilot. After a short safety briefing, you’ll climb into the front seat of a fully inspected Schweizer 2-32 glider. Your pilot will take the seat behind you and make sure that the glider’s plexiglass canopy is fully secured.
Then, it’s time to take to the skies! A small tow plane will take you down the runway and before you know it, you’ll be flying amongst the clouds. You won’t believe the views as the tow plane takes you higher and higher above the city. Finally, once you’ve reached the desired cruising altitude, the tow plane will release you into the air.
Enjoy a smooth and quiet ride as you gently glide over Colorado mountains and peaks. Marvel at the slanted sandstone formations of the iconic Flatirons and get a one-of-a-kind view of Longs Peak, Nederland, and the Continental Divide. Using pockets of rising air, your pilot will keep you soaring for an astonishing 45 to 90 minutes. Actual flight times may vary depending on weather and flying conditions.
Before making your final descent, snap some breathtaking photos of the landscapes around you. Experience the beauty of Colorado from above with this Ultimate Glider Ride package!
All of the pilots are FAA Certified Commercial Pilots and have thousands of hours of flight time. All rides are given in high performance sailplanes, which are as large as airplanes and not to be confused with small, lightweight hang gliders.
It's a couple degrees colder in the glider then on the ground. Wear what you would be wearing if you were outside. Bring a baseball cap and sunglasses for the glare.
Yes, you can bring your camera, cell phone, or GoPro!
This experience provider strives to accommodate anyone who wants to join in for a glider ride. The team is willing and able to assist the rider in and out of the glider. You are also welcome to bring your own support. They do not have any specialized mechanical equipment to lower someone in or out of the glider.
Yes! There is a large parking area near the runway.
No, but if you have any concerns and health issues, please advise with your doctor.
9:00 AM to 11:30 AM is typically the smoothest time to fly. As the day heats up, there is better lift and can get a little bumpier.
