Where it is
What we look for at Cedar Mountain (the 'C')
Wind direction
WNW (292°) → NNW (340°)
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.
Launch above Cedar City's hillside 'C', facing NW out over Cedar Valley; works best on a NW wind, with W and N also flyable. High-altitude launch (~9,350 ft), so density altitude cuts wing performance and adds sink. Timing window is narrow - too early you sink out, too late the wind gets too strong - so it's a midday/afternoon thermal-ridge window. Watch the electrical conduit added around the C (snag hazard), leeside rotor, and canyon venturi if it goes too west or strong. Verify locally with CUASA.
