No site-specific club/USHPA guide found for "Crow Butte." Coordinates (43.55, -116.08) place it in the SW Idaho high-desert butte belt near Kuna/Melba, same volcanic-butte terrain as the documented Pickle Butte and Kuna Butte soaring/training sites (small ~600-700 ft buttes). Arc is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth NW orientation hint: ideal wind FROM the NW (~315 deg), centered on the facing slope; marginal as it goes cross toward W and N. Hazards: lee-side rotor and turbulence if wind backs east of the facing arc or overpowers the small hill; afternoon thermal overdevelopment and gusty valley/diurnal winds are the most common shutdown in this Idaho zone, with winds often reversing at night. Best window is mid-morning to early afternoon for smooth thermic ridge/XC potential before valley winds build. Treat as P2+/intermediate; verify current access, conditions, and exact wind window with Idaho Paragliding (idahoparagliding.org) before flying. Speeds are estimates for a light/training-class butte, not measured site data.
