9am morning hike and fly at point of the mountain. Morning started off with no win. pilots started hiking up so I thought I join in on the fun. Hiked up my light kit without a jacket and gloves. Should have brought my big kit. The day turned on nicely, this was a throw away flight. Flew the full length of the north mountain and played in some thermals. Drove up to Monroe Utah to fly some big air after this flight. We'll see if it pans out or bomb out.

Nice to have the place to yourself! Every time I've been there, it's as crowded as the free lunch line at a paramotor fly-in. I'd like to hear more of Steve's (Nelson's Wings) unpleasant bottom landing experience!!

Man, you hiked up pretty far. The only time I went to point of the mountain north side, I tried to launch from down low by the parking lot twice and sank out twice. That was a unpleasant experience. So I told myself that if I've ever back there I want to hike up but not as high as you did just go as low as possible just to get up into some wind and not sink out. It's a beautiful clear day for sure. Nice landing!

@@NelsonsWings If you hike about half way up you should be high enough to fly the rest. This day there was no wind down low and the only option was to hike up to the top. On a good day it's pretty easy to fly from the grass! I've had lots of flights starting from the grass. Easy 5 hour flight, just need the right day.

I’m jealous of all your sites. I live in the flat lands of central Oklahoma. Good vids👍

@@jaye7010 Thanks. Oklahoma has paragliding somewhere on the south east side.

Good video. Isn't it usually South in the morning and north in the evening? (you can tell I don't live there).

Spring time it's like that. Summer is whatever it wants to do. Locals only fly in the morning and evenings. So during prime time you get the whole mountain to yourself.
