North/northeast-facing foothill on the south edge of the Antelope Valley east of Lancaster/Pearblossom (~4,500 ft). Listed as an old Sylmar HGA site, but the site-guide page is gone and no current numbers were found — the NNE window here is inferred, not verified. Mojave desert thermals get strong and rough midday, so morning or late afternoon is smoother; watch for lee rotor if the flow turns S/SW. Confirm rating, landowner access, and current status with the local club before flying.
