- Confirm the exact private launch boundary and lawful LZ
- Do not use the generalized pin as turn-by-turn access
Launch directions
S, SW
Direction notes
Published PGE aspects: S (good), SW (good). Verify the actual face on site.
Safety notes
- The source reports an approximately 800-foot walk-up.
- The source reports best PG use in light south-to-southwest flow around 6 mph at the bottom.
Additional notes
Published comment: Works best on for PG on S to SW flow around 6 mph at the bottom of the hill or at Salida Airport. Popular in the past with the HG community. Walk up about 800' tall.
Map pin (general area)
The PGE coordinate is retained as a documented flying-area lead, but the current exact setup, boundary, route and LZ are unpublished.
Navigation warning
