Ridge soaring and thermal flying possible.

Access

Take the Steese Hwy Norh to about mile 104 and there will be a parking area on your left. if you drive past the parking area a bit there will be a dirt road up the side of a hill to the main launch. 4X4 recommended. take road to top and you can launch in many directions.
You can also fly the hill that is accessed by the hiking trail from the lower parking area as well. There are also other launches in the area that will become obvious once you are there.
