Extract from Stacy's 'Handbook': Welcome to Utah. Home of Cove Mountain, where a ridge finger extends miles out into and 3300 feet above the Sevier Valley, and creates a soarable launch in three different directions. Where you can climb in evening ridge lift up over 3000 feet and look down on mountain lakes and streams along with 3000 foot shear cliffs and the panorama of Color Country. Where thermals can carry you to the Wasatch Plateau and you can thermal above Skyline Drive, a mountain ridge road that runs 60 miles between Sanpete and Carbon Valleyss, and seldom dips below 10,000 feet. From there you can thermal right into the Uinta Mountains and on to Wyoming if you want to. > For more/ detailed info about Utah sites check out the 'Utah Paragliding and Hang Gliding Handbook' by Stacy Whitmore: http://www.cuasa.com/Handbook.htm
