If the view from Dolly Sods is not incredible enough, visit the Eastern Soaring Center at the Grant County Airport in Petersburg for an aerial glider tour. Grant County is a mecca for glider enthusiasts due to its amazing scenery and steady thermals.
Eastern Soaring Center
Located at the Grant County Airport, the facility is the closest year-round, weekday (and weekend) operation serving Washington DC, Baltimore, Northern VA and the surrounding areas; the only commercial operation in the mid-Atlantic region exclusively offering the most exciting form of glider launch (winch launch); and one of the highest winch launches on the East coast.
