The neat part is that right after I pass that spot the road makes a hairpin turn and starts winding its way back down to the valley, so if the stops and the timing are right I am able to look up while I am driving or delivering and see the hang glider swooping back and forth above me as it slowly descends. If they catch the occasional updraft, flights of 10 or even 15 minutes are possible.
