Klíčové informace
Podmínky
The launches here are all hike up and unimproved. Careful assessment of winds, terrain and your abilities must be used for any launch area you use. Launches described are not an endorsement or recommendation as to their use. The lowest launch is a flat area on the hillside visible from the parking area. This launch is rarely used. West wind is the preferred direction, winds from the South can cau The LZ is 300 ft. Midway Launch is above and north of the Lowest Launch, it is launchable in west to southwest winds. This launch uses the same landing zones as the Lower Launch and is rarely used. Launching is good with South to West winds, avoid North to East winds. Parking is a small dirt turnout, don't block the gate if livestock are present. Room for 3-4 cars. Barbed wire fences on sides of the road and surrounding LZ areas. LZ's are not flat and have clumps of sage brush. Target shooting occurs in this area, if you see shooters near the LZ, let them know your plans to hike and land. Carrying a whistle and sounding it at your landing approach to alert shooters is suggested. South and west winds depending on where you launch.
Přístup a přistání
Below, across the road on State land, surrounded by private land. Upper Launch (P3 recommended) reached by hiking southeast, above the Midway Launch until reaching a deep ravine (here you’ll be able to see the Upper Launch), then turn to hike up. The South landing area can be seen by standing on launch, imagining the area between a line directly from launch to the intersection of Morgan Lane and Rocky Mountain Road, then another line due east from this intersection. From the parking area, cross the road and cross over the barbed wire fence, be sure you're on the public land! Follow the fence line till you're on the south side of the 1st drainage, then head up the drainage. Montana State Recreational land use permit is required.
Poplatky
Flying south towards the "M" are a few cruxes where if you land you will not be welcome by the landowners. Please contact a local and get the intel of where to avoid landing.
