Take a glider ride with Cypress Soaring! If you're the type that likes adventure, we might have just what you need...in the outback of the great Mojave desert.
Ten miles from the nearest town, down a straight stretch of two lane highway lies an almost invisible turn-off to a road that takes you back in time to a simpler era in the world of aviation. Krey Field. It's a mile down a washboard dirt road, so forget your high heels and spit-shined shoes. No phone, no food, no water. But be ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
Fly with us in a sailplane. No engine, just the sound of the rushing wind. Silently glide over the harsh, beautiful desert landscape. If we're lucky, we'll soar with a redtail hawk, or maybe even an eagle awaits you.
Soaring high in the clear desert air, you'll see vistas only the few are privileged to behold. Places like El Mirage, Grey Butte, the Shadow Mountains; and Rosamond dry lake bed, made famous by test pilots and astronauts alike at the Edwards/Dryden Flight Test Center. To the east you can see the outskirts of Victorville in the distance, the nearest big city in the desert. With good soaring conditions, you might be gliding as high as the tops of the nearby San Gabriel mountain range, where you could be eye level with Mt. Baldy at more than 10,000 feet above sea level.
So, if you're the adventurin' type, slather on some sun screen and join us. You'll not likely forget this adventure anytime soon. And once you've tasted the great Mojave outback from a mile above, you just might be hooked.
