What we look for at BOB's Upper Lip

Wind direction

E (80°) → SSE (160°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

7–15 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.

Undocumented local launch above the South Fork Boise River near Featherville (~4,450 ft); works broadly on E-through-SE flow, with W/NW being the lee side to avoid. Treat it as a thermal site — smoothest early or late, punchy and possibly overdeveloped midday. Rating and access unknown; verify launch orientation and rules with local pilots before flying. All figures are inferred, not from a site guide.
