Access notes
The licensed source identifies this as an unregulated National Forest PG ridge and warns that it is hard to find. Use current Cibola/Mt. Taylor maps, contact the ranger district for the legal road or hike route and current closure status, and do not substitute adjacent land-grant, tribal, or private tracks. The published LZ is 35.2793,-107.742.
Site rules
  • Confirm the current public-land route, parking, fire status, and any seasonal closure with the Mt. Taylor Ranger District before travel.
  • Stay on legal public routes and respect all private, tribal, land-grant, grazing, gate, and cultural-resource boundaries.
  • Do not rely on the word unregulated as a waiver of FAA, Forest Service, fire, road, or temporary-closure rules.
  • The evidence establishes PG only and does not establish PPG.
Direction notes
No direction or wind envelope is published, so none is inferred.
Safety notes
  • No current source publishes a rating, wind direction, wind limit, launch-surface condition, obstacle survey, bailout plan, or emergency procedure.
  • This is a remote, difficult-to-find high-desert ridge; use a current local guide, offline maps, communications, water, and a conservative retrieval plan.
  • Launch and published LZ are 17.793 km and 19.145 km from GNT Grants-Milan Municipal and outside current R/P polygons.
Additional notes
Included under the broad public-site policy because the source explicitly identifies a National Forest PG launch and LZ. Sparse operational detail is retained as a warning rather than invented.
Map pin (exact launch)
Published launch and LZ coordinates; access path and current road condition are not published.
Navigation warning
Remote public-land coordinate with no verified access route. Contact the ranger district and a current local pilot before using the pin.
