Description

Located in Utah, USA, this paragliding site offers a scenic flight experience with an elevation of 2345 meters and a height difference of 720 meters. It is a desert site situated west of Salt Lake City, just past the Stockton Bar site. To reach the launch area, you will need to drive up Jacobs City Road. There are two launch spots available, with the lower one being more suitable for paragliders due to its limited space. The site is known for its strong thermals, making it a popular spot for hang gliders during the summer months. There is significant cross-country (XC) potential to the north, although this is limited by the Great Salt Lake and airspace restrictions. It is crucial to check the current airspace regulations, as they have improved since 2012. Be aware of specific restrictions: do not land south of the landing zone (LZ) area and avoid flying over the army supply depot. During retrieves, ensure you close any gates you pass through. The optimal wind directions for this site are SSW, SW, and W. The best season to fly here is from May through October, as winter months can restrict access due to snowfall. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Utah Site Guide: [Utah Site Guide](http://www.uhgpga.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/UtahSiteGuide-2013_Les_Hooper.pdf).
