Air Sports

Washoe Valley is known around the world for hang gliding and paragliding. The span between Reno and Carson City, Washoe Valley, attracts people from all over the world to enjoy these adventurous sports. Some gliders can ride massive thermals all the way to Mammoth, reaching over 17,000 feet while taking in breathtaking views of the eastern escarpment of the Sierra, Lake Tahoe, and vast expanses of pines and ranches. Hang Gliding Tahoe offers powered hang gliding flights much like a traditional hang glider, but powered by an aircraft engine for those first timers who might be a little squeamish.
