What we look for at Lincoln mtn

Wind direction

SE (135°) → S (180°)

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

Ideal speed

6–14 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.

Undeveloped, unverified Front Range launch in the Monument/Palmer Lake area just west of I-25 (~7,400 ft). Reported to face SE-S, so wind from that arc works best. Strong gusty downslope and channeled winds are common here; the main danger is lee rotor if the wind carries any N/NW/W component - don't fly it then. Thermic and prone to overdevelopment; morning or evening is smoothest. Access is likely private/unestablished - confirm legality and get a local RMHPA briefing before flying.
