Foothills launch near Pine Junction/Bailey in the Front Range (~7,900 ft) with no published site guide — it isn't in RMHPA, XContest, or any club listing. The east-facing orientation on paraglidingEarth suggests light easterly or morning upslope works best, but nothing is verified. Prevailing winds here are W/NW, so expect lee-side rotor and strong afternoon thermals. Confirm orientation, access, and landowner permission with local pilots before flying.
