The best views are during dusk; I recommend getting there around 6 PM. You won't want to miss that sunset over the gorge!

Definitely go in the morning! I went around 10 AM and the winds were perfect for flying. Plus it gets crowded later in the day and I don't like waiting.

I suggest bringing snacks and water. There's not much nearby, and I got kinda hungry waiting for my turn. Being well-fed makes the experience even better!

Be sure to chat with the instructors. They're super friendly and have great tips. I learned a lot just by asking questions while I was waiting to fly.

Check out the package deals! I found a combo offer for hang gliding and a photo package that saved me a few bucks. Totally worth it for the memories!
