Mount Harrison is a high, road-accessible peak (~8,800 ft) in the Albion Range near Burley/Albion in southern Idaho, with flying history going back decades. Launches west through northwest. High density altitude means faster launch and landing speeds; expect strong midday thermals and possible rotor on cross or lee days. Best mid-morning to early afternoon, or in the evening glass-off.
