Take-off description
Very shallow and advanced launch. Do not launch here without speaking to local pilot. Launch has recently been improved (trees and brush removed) making is easier.
Getting there
Dawson City Dome road, south launch at the end of the road and north launch is accessed by a short hike down a path beside the lookout gazebo.
Rules / airspace
Power lines at LZ MUST be cleared by at least 500 ft (150 m) as part of city bylaw. Do not break this rule!
Comments
You can launch here at Midnight for summer solstice which is a bit of a tradition. There is also a film festival in April and an amazing music festival in July. It's worth coming up for any of these events.
