King Mountain Glider Park Foundation Inc

The King Mountain Glider Park Foundation promotes soaring sports by hosting events for pilots of all levels. Their mission is to foster a vibrant community of gliding enthusiasts while providing a premier flying site for hang gliders, paragliders, and sailplanes.

&quot;All Birds Welcome&quot; isn&#39;t just a slogan &mdash; it&#39;s an invitation. We&#39;re bringing together pilots of all experience levels, flying everything from hang gliders to paragliders to sailplanes, for a one-of-a-kind soaring event. A World-Class Site, King Mountain has earned its reputation as a powerful, dynamic flying site.&nbsp; The numbers speak for themselves:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.xcontest.org/2025/world/en/flights-search/?filter[point]=-113.290887%2043.763387&list[sort]=pts&list[dir]=down" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Paragliding Site Records</a> have been broken at multiple safaris 200km +</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Idaho Hang Gliding distance record was set here: King Mountain to Bozeman, Montana</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Idaho Paragliding distance record was recently flown from nearby Sun Valley to just south of Helena, Montana &mdash; 240 miles</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">The US National Hang Gliding Championships have been held at King Mountain</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Paragliding Nationals have twice been held in nearby Sun Valley</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Paragliding World Open Distance meet was held in Sun Valley, with one day flown here at King Mountain </li></ul>Sailplanes have flown this region for decades, Sun Valley was a premier soaring destination in the 70s and 80s, and the annual Mackay Regatta &mdash; held just north of us each summer &mdash; continues to push pilots in this exceptional mid-latitude location.
