Scenic Glider Rides Rides run second weekend
in May through second weekend in October. All Rides Contingent

of 9,000 to 9,500 feet, and then released. As you soar like an
eagle back to the glider port, you will be able to see the beautiful
San Juan mountains, around 100 miles of scenery in any
direction, plus the Animas River winding through the valley.
