No documented site guide found for "Bergen Rock." It does not appear in RMHPA flying-site listings, paraglidingEarth, wilderadventures.com Colorado XC launch directory, or XContest. The coordinates (39.2989, -105.031) place it near Pine Junction/Bailey in the Colorado Front Range foothills (~7877 ft MSL), but no named launch matches. Wind window below is INFERRED only from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants N, NE, E, SE, S = the east-facing half), not from any club/pilot source. Ideal arc set to the core east-facing octants (NE-E-SE, 45-135 deg); marginal arc covers the edge octants N (315-45) and S/SSE (135-202). Speed ranges are generic high-altitude foothill estimates: light-to-moderate east flow soarable, with caution. HAZARDS/CAVEATS: high-elevation site - strong midday thermals and convergence common in the Front Range; expect rough air and overdevelopment by early afternoon in summer; predominant regional winds are W/NW, so the listed east-facing orientation likely works mainly on light easterly upslope/morning conditions or post-frontal flow, which can be infrequent. Lee-side rotor from westerly gradient is a serious risk on this aspect. Treat as unverified: confirm orientation, rating, access/landowner permission, and current conditions with RMHPA or local pilots before flying. Best time of day for an east-facing foothill launch is typically morning upslope before thermals strengthen.
