Access notes
Use maintained gravel Weaver Bally Road from Highway 299 for about ten miles to the fire lookout. Snow can block winter access, and a locked lookout gate may require a short uphill walk.
Site rules
  • Use the unimproved launch faces near the fire lookout and select the face matching the documented east-through-northwest sectors.
  • Plan for a landing at least a 5:1 glide away; the Sky Ranch river-bar LZ is hidden from launch by a ridge.
  • Avoid high-wind use because the surrounding wilderness has no road access and lacks close safe bailout LZs.
Launch directions
E, SE, S, SW, W, NW
Direction notes
The source documents east or west as generally best, with southerly faces also possible.
Safety notes
  • Every documented landing option is roughly a 5:1 glide or farther, with no safe close bailout.
  • The Weaver Bally Road burned-area LZ is unimproved and can be poor in wind or thermic conditions because of terrain and trees.
  • Complex Trinity Alps/coastal/interior weather and high-altitude summer lift require mountain-weather judgment; the source notes supplemental oxygen may be prudent.
Additional notes
Unimproved multi-face mountain launch with XC potential and a staffed fire lookout during fire season.
Map pin (exact launch)
The cited source publishes a coordinate for this specific takeoff face; it is treated as an exact launch pin.
