Takeoff description
The launches here are all hike up. And considered to be a thermal site for pilots hoping to get up and leave the area for XC flights. Most popular destination is the M. There are cruxes along the flight path where if you land you will not be welcome by the landowners. Please contact a local and get the intel of where to avoid landing. The lowest launch is a flat area on the hillside visible from the parking area with room to set up and kite before launching. This launch is rarely used. West wind is the preferred direction, winds from the South can cause rotor at launch. The LZ is 300 ft. below, across the road on State land, surrounded by private land. Midway Launch is above and north of the Lowest Launch, it is launchable in west to southwest winds. This launch uses the same landing zones as the Lower Launch and has an area behind launch with some potential for kiting. It’s rarely used. Upper Launch (P3 recommended) can be reached by hiking south east, above the Midway Launch until reaching a deep ravine (here you’ll be able to see the Upper Launch), then turn to hike up. Launching is good with South to West winds, definitely avoid North to East winds. Bomb out on a South launch and you’ll need to pick a clear spot in the Sage brush on the state lands below, south of the Cemetery. The South landing zone can be located by standing on launch, imagining the area between a line directly from launch to the intersection of Morgan Lane and Rocky Mountain Road, then another line due east from this intersection.
