Pilot comments
> Don't forget your almost at 12000ft/ 3600m... > Check out the 'Utah Paragliding and Hang Gliding Handbook' by Stacy Whitmore (http://www.cuasa.com/Handbook.htm) for more info about Utah sites. > Don't fly out over the canyon, but stay above the ridge/ spine! Later in the day, as the wind picks up, it can become difficult to penetrate against the (east-) wind!
