West-facing foothill launch in the Kamas Valley on the Wasatch Back, high elevation (~7,800 ft). No club or USHPA site guide with documented numbers exists, so the wind window here is an estimate — treat it as a thermic mountain site: keep base wind modest, expect afternoon overdevelopment and possible leeside rotor, and verify access, LZ, and current conditions with local pilots before flying.
