  • Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 22

"Coyote" is a small free-flight site near Billings, Montana (Pryor/Bridger foothills region, ~4744 ft MSL). The only authoritative listing found is its paraglidingEarth entry, which confirms the takeoff faces and works in east/southeast winds, with east (E) and southeast (SE) as the strongest exposure and light usability in south (S). No club/USHPA site guide with explicit wind-speed numbers, hazard details, or access/rating info was located online. Ideal arc is centered on E-SE (~90-157 deg, wind FROM); flying becomes marginal/cross toward NE and toward S-SSW. Speed ranges and gust limits are inferred from general paragliding soaring practice rather than a site-specific guide: roughly 8-15 mph ideal, up to ~18 mph base, gusts under ~22 mph. As a relatively low-relief launch on the high-plains margin, typical hazards to expect (unconfirmed for this specific site) include strong thermal cycles and gust fronts on hot afternoons, possible lee-side rotor if wind backs to W/NW, and rapidly building convection — prefer morning or evening glass-off conditions and avoid overdeveloped/frontal days. Verify access, rating requirements, and local hazards with the regional club (Beartooth/Billings-area pilots) before flying.
