Description

At an elevation of 2168 meters with a height difference of 620 meters, this paragliding site offers a moderate experience. The hike to the launch site takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The launch area is multi-directional with a couple of spots to choose from. There are landing areas for speed wings at the base of the hill and a park further out, though you should be cautious of obstacles. A notable landing zone (LZ) is located inside "This is the Place" park. The park owners request a $5 day-use fee for landing there, which is a winter rate extended to paraglider pilots year-round. Contact Matt Peck at 801-455-7702 to give a heads-up if you plan to land there. The LZ is spacious, equivalent to three football fields, and free of nearby power lines or obstacles. If you prefer not to use this LZ, there are several side hill landing options closer to the hill and trail. Before launching, it's recommended to notify Airmed dispatch 10-15 minutes in advance at 801-581-2500. They appreciate the heads-up and are supportive of paragliders. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Utah Site Guide](http://www.uhgpga.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/UtahSiteGuide-2013_Les_Hooper.pdf).
