Located in the Wenatchee region of the USA, this paragliding site offers an elevation of 1244 meters with a height difference of 764 meters. The site is considered easy to fly and is regularly used by paragliders. Access involves driving a 4x4 vehicle as far as possible up Birch Mountain, followed by a short walk to the west-facing launch above Nahum Canyon. The site is known for strong thermals, making it a good spot for thermalling and cross-country (XC) flights. It serves as an XC reference point, with the site record standing at 46.4 km. For more detailed information on XC flying at this site, visit [Wilder Adventures](https://www.wilderadventures.com/launch/974/burch-mountain-cashmere). For any inquiries or further details, you can contact the local flying club at [Lake Chelan Flyers](https://lakechelanflyers.org/).
