"Best" idea is to visit as many as you can! From Florida to Pennsylvania to
California - we all offer something different and that's the fun of traveling to many sites. Be sure to fly at historic Harris Hill near Elmira, NY and visit our National Soaring Museum, the archive of the SSA. For tourism and family fun, Marfa Gliders in west Texas is between Carlsbad Caverns and Big Bend National Parks. The McDonald Observatory is open to visitors in the nearby Davis Mountains. Go horseback riding, hiking, and visit our new art galleries. Summer temps are not so hot as the rest of Texas as Marfa Airport (MRF) is on a grassy plateau at 5,000' msl. Big sky, 100 mile visibility, wonderful scenery, super hospitality and of course, great soaring! Site of the 1970 World Soaring Contest and where "The Sun Ship Game" soaring movie was filmed. We just finished our new hangar and picnic facility for visiting glider families. Park your glider here for an endless summer of soaring, or bring it to the annual wave camp April 3-11. Nearest airline service is to El Paso (ELP) or Midland (MAF), Texas. Marfa Gliders is now open year-round - come visit - we'll show you a good time!
