Glider Ride Around Reno
Description
A Glider Ride From Reno to Lake Tahoe
A glider flight in Reno is an aerial activity that lets you discover Nevada’s landscapes from a unique perspective. The experience is tandem with a professional pilot who handles all the maneuvers. Takeoff is from an airfield in Reno, where you’re towed by an airplane before being released to soar silently through the sky.
Aerial Views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains
Once in the air, the glider moves quietly above the Sierra Nevada mountains. You’ll enjoy wide-open views of forests, ridges, and valleys. The contrast between Nevada’s desert terrain and the green landscapes surrounding Lake Tahoe is striking. Depending on weather conditions, you can stay aloft for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Observing Lake Tahoe and Its Surroundings
From your passenger seat, you’ll see the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, framed by mountains and small resort towns. The glider moves gently, giving plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the panorama. The pilot can adapt the flight: calmer for sightseeing, or with more dynamic maneuvers for thrill-seekers.
