What we look for at Five Springs

Wind direction

SSE (157°) → SW (225°)

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

Ideal speed

6–14 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.

No flying guide found for a Five Springs launch - sources only cover Five Springs Falls (hiking/camping/ice climbing) on the west-facing Bighorn escarpment above US-14A near Lovell. If flyable it's a high-desert thermal/XC site best late morning to midday, with committing cliff terrain and few bailout LZs. The listed S/SW orientation doesn't match the west-facing terrain, so treat direction as unverified and confirm locally before flying.
