What we look for at Red Mountain (Glenwood Morning)

Wind direction

ENE (60°) → ESE (120°)

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

Ideal speed

0–8 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.

East-facing, slight S aspect; morning-only smooth student site, gets switchy/turbulent after ~9:30-10am, no flying after noon (thunderstorms). Hazards: telephone pole, S-ridge outcrop rotor. High density altitude. West wind = over-the-back, closed. Access by club truck/hike only; no miniwings/HGs.
