Descripción del despegue
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!
Reglas / notas
There is a 9500ft ceiling because of commercial and military air traffic: just don't go above the 'giant golf balls'.
Comentarios de pilotos
5000 feet of vert beautiful view of Salt Lake City, The Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island and the Wasatch mountain range.
