What we look for at Honeymoon

Wind direction

WSW (250°) → WNW (290°)

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

Ideal speed

8–17 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.

West-facing ridge launch on the Hurricane Cliffs near Hurricane, Utah, about 10 miles down the ridge from Molly's Nipple with a much faster drive-up turnaround. Both a ridge-soaring and thermal site — glass-offs are good and desert thermals can get strong. Works best in W wind; watch for overdevelopment and lee rotor if it backs off west. Red-clay launch, so bring a tarp. The big LZ below launch is reportedly gone, so have solid small-field landing skills and scout alternates. Confirm access and LZ status with UHGPGA / local pilots.
