Take-off description
Launch is on top of the 3rd Hill. S/SW is the best launching angle.
Getting there
It's a steep 45-minute hike up 3 hills. Hiking sticks help. Park here : 37.709340, -113.057640, on the street in front of Crimson Heights, 1789 N Wedgewood Lane. Walk the flat dirt trail heading South about 1/8th mile, noticing the LZ empty lot to your right and the CV Hill to your left. Start hiking up the CV Hill, passing the CV letters, which will be on your left. Hike up and over that hill, down the backside a bit, and then hike up the second hill, also steep. Then hike up the third hill, which is a bit easier. At the top of the third hill, you will see a good S/SW launching area to your right.
Weather
There is a small window where it is really good. Personally, I like when weatherunderground.com says 7-8mph S/SW.
Rules / airspace
Try to avoid the Golf Course.
Comments
I love this hill. Quick and easy DIY 45-min Hike, Launch, and Land by your car.
