At an elevation of 1564 meters with a height difference of 95 meters, this site offers various takeoff options, making it a popular choice for afternoon flying. The flat slope takeoff is ideal for thermal ridge flying, and while cross-country flights are rare, toplanding is commonly done behind the launch area. The North Side of the Point of the Mountain is a fantastic spot to experience your first thermic activity and get plenty of airtime. Consistent evening soaring is a highlight here, with the opportunity to bench up and soar the 2-mile-long mountain behind the launch area. This site is part of a state fly park managed by the Utah Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (UHGPGA), and membership is required to fly here. Due to its consistent winds, you can fly nearly every evening during the summer months, and some evenings offer an amazing "Glass Off" as the sun sets. The site is frequently used by local schools for training new pilots and offering tandem flights to the public, so it can get quite busy. The hill behind the launch is also a good spot for hiking and flying speed wings or launching paragliders on very light evenings. The park is divided into designated areas for hang glider and paraglider launches and landings, with signs and diagrams posted near the walkways.
