Take-off description
You have a window of opportunity for launching. Too early you sink out. Too late and the wind get too strong. Alternative TO (especially in Winter) at the 'C': 37 38 32.9 W113 02 05.3 (2513m) In 2024, Cedar lit up the letter C with electrical conduits that are a foot off the ground all the way around the C. A total tripping hazard for paragliders launching. This makes this site quite a bit more dangerous.
Getting there
Paved Road all the way to the C. In the winter, this road is not plowed. Take 14 East 5.1 miles to Right Hand Road. Take a Right onto Right Hand Road and go 4.8 miles to the C, on the right. Parking and Pit Toilet provided.
