What we look for at Harrison

Wind direction

W (260°) → NW (320°)

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

Ideal speed

6–15 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.

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.
