What we look for at Coyote

Wind direction

E (90°) → SSE (157°)

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.

Small foot-launch on the high-plains foothills near Billings. Works in east to southeast winds. Expect strong afternoon thermals and gust fronts on hot days, and lee-side rotor if the wind swings west. No club oversight or published guide - check with local Billings-area pilots before flying.
