"The surrounding countryside is especially scenic, and from the Harris Hill Overlook, adjacent to a small airfield, there’s a spectacular view of the Chemung River Valley. Harris Hill is considered the birthplace of soaring in the U.S. In the 1930s, aviation pioneer Dr. Wolfgang Klemperer recommended that the site be used for a national soaring contest, and Harris Hill went on to become the first permanent location in the U.S. for national soaring competitions."
