Where it is
What we look for at Eagle Butte
Wind direction
SSW (210°) → W (260°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–18 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.
Low desert butte in the Tri-Cities area facing roughly SW to W, working on the Columbia Basin's prevailing westerly flow. Typical desert hazards apply: punchy midday thermals, dust devils, and leeside rotor if the wind comes over the back. Access may be in question, so check current status with Tri-Cities pilots before heading out; nearby Kiona is the active alternative.
