The launch site is situated at an elevation of 956 meters with a height difference of approximately 700 meters. The slope is relatively flat, which can make it challenging to gain sufficient altitude for a successful glide to the valley. Thermalling is possible, but the site is rarely used, as indicated by the limited flight logs and the longest recorded flight being only 11.4 km. For more popular paragliding sites in Washington, you might want to explore other options.
