Site rules
  • Hold current USHPA membership, complete the current North Cascades Soaring Club waiver/site requirements, and obtain a site introduction before independent use.
  • Respect locked gates, road restrictions, private land, landowner conditions, seasonal fire closures, and winter snow closures; hike-in status can change without notice.
  • Carry a helmet and reserve and follow the current club rating, mentor, wind, parking, and vehicle limits for the specific launch.
  • Do not launch, land, park, camp, or retrieve outside the current authorized areas.
