Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
High-altitude mountain launch (~8,600 ft) in the Williams Fork area of Colorado's high country. RMHPA flags it for poor legal access, so it isn't a sanctioned or maintained site — sort out landowner access before considering it. Expect strong midday thermals, thin air, and lee-side rotor when the gradient opposes the launch. Confirm access and current status with RMHPA or local pilots first.
