Sailplaning has become a popular activity in Heber Valley and gliders are a common sight in the sky. Combined with the valley's scenic beauty, the high elevation and arid climate heat the ground to create thermals for prime soaring conditions. From May through October, Soar Utah offers scenic glider rides, glider flight training, and assistance to privately owned gliders at the Heber Valley Airport.

Hot air ballooning is also popular in the Heber Valley. Watch the skies and you will occasionally see vividly-colored balloons soaring over the scenic Heber Valley landscape.
