Where it is
What we look for at Silver (Newcastle)
Wind direction
SW (225°) → W (280°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–15 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.
Remote high-desert PG launch in far SW Utah (~7,350 ft), faces roughly WSW and flies best on a southwest wind. Expect strong midday thermals and possible overdevelopment — morning or evening glass-off is safest. High density altitude means faster launches and landings. No club site guide exists; confirm direction, limits, rating, and access with local pilots before flying.
