Access notes
Public/nonregulated club-listed site. The rough 4WD road is normally considered only after about July 1 and before snow; hike from the published Indian Creek parking/LZ point to the suitable west-of-road setup.
Site rules
- Use a capable rugged-road vehicle only when the route is open
- Follow the official ridge hike
- Obtain a current local introduction because the site is rarely used and not maintained
Launch directions
WNW, N, ENE
Direction notes
Official sector is approximately 300 through 060 degrees.
Safety notes
- North-facing high launch around 8,500 feet with LZ around 6,000 feet
- Official wind range is 0 minimum, 6 ideal, 12 maximum and 18 mph maximum gust
- Rough access, snow and sparse maintenance increase commitment
Additional notes
Official guide gives a roughly 2:1 glide and wind sector 300-060 degrees.
Map pin (general area)
Official published parking/LZ coordinate represents access to the launch hike, not the launch itself.
Navigation warning
The pin is explicitly not the launch. Follow the official rugged-road and ridge-hike description and obtain a current site introduction before attempting this rarely used site.
