What we look for at Anderson Flat

Wind direction

SE (135°) → SW (225°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

7–15 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

Unverified spot on the southern edge of Yosemite near Wawona (~5,400 ft) — no club guide, pilot report, or site listing confirms it as a flying site, and the wind numbers here are guesses. Note that paragliding is banned inside Yosemite NP and hang gliding is permit-only via the Yosemite Hang Gliding Association at Glacier Point, so confirm this launch is legal and off park land before flying. Sierra terrain means thermic conditions and lee rotor; smooth mornings or evening glass-off are safest.
