SE to SSW; SSE is best. Summer evenings are usually too west to fly from the south launch.

Straight in front of launch, just before the houses, visible from launch as a small, circular, bare patch. Has slight downhill slope to the south. Paraglider pilots should set up their approach so as to [b]not overfly the wash[/b] to the west of the LZ and [b]plan on landing short of the LZ to compensate for the famous South Mountain Pop[/b]. Much of the terrain around the LZ is usable for landing, just avoid getting popped and floating into or close to the houses
