Description

This site, located at an elevation of 2912 meters with a height difference of 1000 meters, is known for its demanding conditions. It is occasionally used and offers good cross-country potential, but it comes with significant risks. The high altitude and potential for cloud suck make it a challenging site. There is a metal hang gliding ramp nearby, but the rocky grounds can be tough on your lines. An East launch is theoretically possible from the ridge. Flights in this region, specifically in the USA, have a site record of 219.2 km. It's advisable to bring a large tarp for launching due to the rocky terrain. This site is known for having the "biggest air" in Utah, with climbs reaching up to 18,000 feet or more if you're not cautious. While it has excellent cross-country potential, it is seldom flyable and not reliable for easy cross-country flights.
