Pigeon Mountain Hang Glider Launch
Score3.6High cliff launch on Pigeon Mountain with expansive valley and ridge views plus frequent hang gliders and paragliders—dynamic subjects against dramatic skies. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and silhouettes; midday offers strong thermals and many pilots. Accessible via a short but steep walk from a roadside trailhead with limited parking; no fee. Respect flyers, keep back from launch edge, and expect wind. Local flying community often present—good chance of action shots.
