Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Low bluffs (~4,000 ft) over the valley near the Silesia community in Carbon County, south-central MT. No flying guide or pilot report was found, so the NE-through-SE window is inferred. Typical low-relief risks: thermal/mechanical turbulence in midday heating, lee rotor if wind backs to W/SW/N, and gusty frontal passages. Morning or evening glass-off is best. Rating, launch, and access unknown - confirm with Billings-area pilots and landowner before flying.
