Takeoff description
A nice west facing grassy meadow at 9200 feet/2804meters. 2wheel drive access on a fairly good dirt road. Plan for 45 minutes of driveing time. Sometimes soarable, sometimes good thermals but you can't use them past the 9500ft ceiling, which is a major bummer. Absolutely gorgeous view of the Great Salt Lake especially at sunset. Launch turns catabatic at sunset!
