]]> <![CDATA[High mountain tandem flight]]> Either hang gliding or paragliding high mountain flight would be a great first time flying experience.

Flight times vary, but are often much longer than flights at the Point, and the lack of air traffic plus the added height make it much easier for the passenger to fly the glider themselves, even on their first time flying!

If you are interested in flying the glider yourself on your first flight up high, this is definently for you.

For a limited time, all high mountain tandem flights come with complementary high definition pictures, usually $50.

Weight limit 200 pounds for hang gliding, 240 pounds for paragliding.   Must be able to run (not for a long time but on take off and landing)

Video to come soon!!!!!
