Launch faces

Forecast point
Ready
Access notes
Wasatch National Forest hike-and-fly access via the current trail. UHGPGA/USHPA membership is recommended rather than required; first-time pilots should obtain a field briefing and must verify the demanding road/mesa LZs.
Site rules
  • P3/M2/S2; P2 only with instructor
  • First-time field briefing strongly recommended
  • Use established trails and avoid private boundaries
  • Confirm road or mesa LZ is clear before launch
Launch directions
NNE, N, NNW, WNW, W, WSW
Direction notes
North face NNE-NNW and West face WNW-WSW; the site is primarily a light-wind operation and is not flown in strong valley south or north wind.
Safety notes
  • Restricted and demanding landing areas
  • 2.5-mile steep hike with 2,400-foot gain
  • Thermic turbulence, rotor and shifting upper wind
  • Rattlesnakes and austere rescue access
Additional notes
One public general-area row covers the source-described North and West faces without inventing separate coordinates. The guide itself is labeled preliminary.
Map pin (general area)
The revised 25 February 2026 guide publishes one location while describing separate North and West setup faces; this row preserves a single conservative site pin.
Navigation warning
Preliminary hike-and-fly guide: do not use this as a face-specific navigation pin. Confirm current access and landing suitability with UHGPGA/local pilots.
