Got to experience something really special during a quick stop at Hyner View State Park this weekend.
I never figured I’d actually see the famed gliders take off from the overlook. But, Sunday proved to be the day!
Was fortunate to see this paraglider take off and soar above us with a hangglider that took off a few minutes earlier.
How cool is this?!
