What we look for at Jasper

Wind direction

SE (135°) → S (180°)

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

Ideal speed

5–12 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.

Cliff-side launch just south of Jasper in the Buffalo River / Ozarks region (the 'Grand Canyon of Arkansas'), not a high peak. Grassy inclined slope to a bluff line, with trees flanking launch and a road right behind it. Primarily a thermal site with XC potential, ridge-soarable when the wind faces the bluff from the SSE/S. Watch for lee rotor if the wind backs to N/NW. Arkansas cliff sites generally require P3/H3 and a $1M liability policy — verify locally before flying.
