What we look for at Kimberly

Wind direction

W (270°) → N (360°)

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.

Canyon-rim launch on the Snake River near Twin Falls/Kimberly. Faces west through north, best on a northwest wind. The high-desert canyon setting brings strong midday thermals, gust fronts, and lee rotor when the wind backs east. Fly the smoother morning or evening cycles and verify the LZ and access locally.
