Olympus


Location: 10 min east south east of Salt Lake City.

Altitude: 5600 ft

Vertical: 400 ft

Excellent beginner to advanced thermal cross-country site.  Must have very good tight landing skills.  13 mile cross-country flights to the "Point" are done almost daily in the summer.  I "discovered" this site because my "hang" friends said they used to fly it years ago and the thought of flying next to 3000 feet of sheer rock face seemed awesome to me.  I wasn't into climbing to the top like the hanglider pilots used to do so I found a lower launch.  I flew it by myself for 2 years because no other Utah paragliding pilots were willing to walk for 10 min to launch.  Now it is flown regularly.
