Q&A

Q: Are there any weight restrictions for the glider ride?

A: Yes, there are weight restrictions for the glider rides. Generally, the combined weight for couples flying together shouldn't exceed 400 lbs. If you're flying solo, they can accommodate most people under 250 lbs, but it's always best to check directly with Sierra Adventures to confirm. Just give them a call before booking to make sure!

Q: What's the best time of year to go gliding in Reno?

A: Late spring to early fall is the prime time for gliding in Reno! The thermals are really active then, especially from May to September. You get clearer skies and beautiful views of Lake Tahoe. But do check the weather the day before your flight, as conditions can change.

Q: What should I wear for the glider ride?

A: Wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. Layers are best since it can get chilly at altitude. Don't forget closed-toe shoes! They provide snacks and drinks, but bringing a light jacket is a good idea, especially if you’re going in the morning. Just check the weather forecast before you go!

I just booked a glider ride in Reno for my partner's birthday!

I'm so excited! We’re going in late August. I heard the views of Lake Tahoe are amazing from up there, and I can't wait to experience soaring like an eagle. It’s also great that they provide hotel pickup. Just wondering if anyone has tips for a first-timer like me?

Has anyone done a glider ride with kids? How was it?

Looking to take my kids (ages 8 and 10) for a glider ride in Reno. They’re super adventurous, but I’m a little nervous about how they’ll do. Is it safe for them? Also, any tips for making it fun?
