Learn to Hang Glide

High Desert Hang Gliding, operated by Mel Glantz, is the "go-to" hang gliding school in the Albuquerque area. Mel keeps a stable of training gliders so you can learn on a wing that's right for you. He also does initial training with a huge 330 square foot Condor, a glider that gets you off the ground at just over walking speed, so you can experience the feeling of true flight early in the process. (I wish I'd learned this way!)

Train with Mel using a simple pay-as-you-go approach. A single lesson is $150.
