Top of the range for paragliding (any rating) — switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
West-facing hike/bench-up site in the Wyoming Range about 45 minutes south of Jackson, and one of the area's best bench-up launches (flown since the late 1980s). It needs a west wind - steady up the face - and a ~600 ft hike then lets you bench up 3,000+ ft to the summit, best in smooth evening conditions for the Teton views. JHFFC gives 250-300 degrees, up to 16 mph, ideal around 8. Rugged, roadless wilderness sits behind the peak, so it's a bad place to get blown back. P3+/mountain experience; contact a JHFFC member first.
