Paragliding West Mountain 2, UT

Located in Utah, USA, this paragliding site sits at an elevation of 1941 meters with a height difference of 543 meters. It is occasionally used for thermal soaring, offering several takeoff options, particularly from the ridges to the south. The site is known for its scenic views, including the farmland and the distant Wasatch mountains. This location is ideal for new pilots who want to experience paragliding away from the more popular Point of the Mountain. The drive takes you up to about 1700 feet above the valley, where you can enjoy flights down to large, open landing zones. The average flight duration here is between 7 to 10 minutes, making it a good spot for short, yet enjoyable flights. Early morning flights are common, allowing for two flights before the air becomes thermally active. When thermal conditions do develop, it provides an excellent opportunity to practice thermal flying.
