Accès
Hogsback parking, launch are on private land. We are thankful to the family that allows us to hike and fly here. There is livestock on this land, so ensure you close gates behind you. The two dogs at large (Daisy & Boz), live here and are part of our scene. One will roll rocks to you, the other will closely monitor your launch. Hogsback is located in Paradise valley, south of Livingston off Divide RD. near the Music Ranch Begin your hike up to launch by passing through the small spacing between the fence posts (you’ll need to pass your gear over the fence, it won't fit through on your back.) Follow the well defined trail across the canal up to launch. You’ll know you’ve reached launch when you see a picnic bench on your left and the weather station a bit beyond on the right.
Météo
Northeast winds are ideal.

AS of 2025 THERE IS NO LZ WE HAVE LOST ACESS TO OUR LZ. Launch is on private land, landowners have given permission unless posted (seasonally) 3 mile ridge facing NE and SW. 300' hike up from parking lot. HG and PG friendly. Winds can get extremely strong in this area and change rapidly. Afternoon soaring will put the west sun in your eyes. With ridge on your left give a wide berth to avoid oncoming pilots. Before hiking up take a good look at where power lines are located. Buzzworms, its not unusual to bump into a rattlesnake. Give them respect and they'll respect you.
