Description
Located in the USA, this paragliding site offers an elevation of 1140 meters with a height difference of approximately 950 meters. It's a great choice when you need to get above the inversion layer. The site is easily accessible by driving up and then walking a short distance. The takeoff area is spacious and easy to manage, making it a frequently used spot. The site is particularly good for cross-country flights heading east.
This launch is higher and easier compared to Skyport but is situated deeper in the terrain. There is also a lower takeoff point available, though it is rarely used.
