What we look for at NevadaGanya
Wind direction
SW (225°) → NW (315°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–15 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.
West-facing high-desert ridge above Sierra Valley (~6,270 ft), with a rough built launch partway up the slope. Classic summer-afternoon site — the valley's west wind loads the ridge for ridge-plus-thermal lift, so best wind is straight-in W. Watch for the afternoon valley wind overdeveloping past launchable strength and for rotor if it backs toward N or S. Thin air means higher true airspeeds — bring margin. Lightly documented; check conditions and access with local pilots.
