Nestled in a quiet little valley in Wilderness is a magical place. For the magic that goes on here is the culmination of centuries of desires, adventures and dreams of free spirited people - all with one goal. "To fly, like a bird". Here at Eagle Encounters Soaring Center, we have the magic to make those dreams come true.

The idea of human flight is as old as humanity itself. Harnessing the natural powers of the sun and the wind, hang gliding is the purest form of human flight. Hang gliders perform more like a soaring bird than any other aircraft - and the method of control - weight shift, is the simplest and most instinctive. The prone flying position gives you the most natural and bird- like experience available.
