THIS SCHOOL ALSO TEACHES PARAGLIDING. The instructor is Chris Holbert.

We encourage you to do some internet research on things to do and appropriate lodging near the school that you choose. Some of the schools have links to local lodging that they recommend. Utah has an abundance of Airbnb and VRBO listings, including many near Point of the Mountain. Utah and California offer many attractions, especially in terms of outdoor activities. You’ll want to choose a school that is likely to have the best weather conditions for paragliding. Even in the best locations, you may not be able to fly every day, so have a look at other activities that may be available to you or family members while you are taking lessons.
