Anarchist is a better thermal site during the day when a breeze is coming in.
However it is a SPECTACULAR Evening Glass Off Site, where glass off extends all the way across the lake.

The 'House' Thermal it is to the left of launch in the bowl near to the vehicle parking area....or work back right to the North face.
Big sink not too far off to the left (east) Not a wise idea to fly over the USA Border without following protocol.
Good XC routes east past Rock Creek, north to Vaseaux Lake, west to Hedley.

Takeoff altitude: 1111m
