takeoff | Takeoff for Paragliders is on steep hillside clearing just below a east facing switchback in the road which overlooks Crowley Lake. The best takeoff for hangliders would be from the road itself. |
---|---|
landing | If you bomb out, then land just east of HYW 395 next to the frontage road and north of the cattle range. Before you head up the road to launch, look for the wind streamers that are tied to posts in the LZ area. |

access | Long narrow dirt switchback road off old HYW 395. |
comments | (Comments by local pro pilot Kari Castle) This is a beautiful morning site. Need to be on launch by 9:30-10am ready to go. For PG the launch is rough, complete with Velcro bushes!! Tricky site in that the West wind will come in and will change fast. Many pilots get caught on launch waiting for it to get better - better to wait in the sky scratching around while it turns on. Don't fly over the horses in the LZ!!! Don't land in the green grass by the horses and obey the no fly zone by Mammoth Airport. You must be over 3,000ftAGL to fly over Hwy 395 and a 5-mile area of the airport!!! |
