About This Spot

Although Big Black is in the Cleveland National Forest, it is a highly sensitive site. After years of working with the Palomar Ranger District we feel very fortunate to have regained access and to fly there via a Special Use Permit.

Small cutout between trees: Being nested in pines, launch can be tricky for paraglliders, but ok for hang gliders.

This site is still sensitive down in the valley.

So Please, do not over shoot the Cross- Roads LZ or be tempted to land down in the valley.

We are still under negotiations to land down there.

It has taken a lot of work and patience to get this far getting the top back open.
We are now in good terms with the Forest Service.

Forest Service road and site improvements are in the works if we keep all parties happy.

NO SITE MAINTENANCE from Feb 1st through May 31st! - Do not pull any weed. This will be done ONLY with the Forest Service Personnel in attendance and or with prior authorization. All Site Maintenance must comply with Special Use Permit Specifications.

Takeoff altitude: 1170m

Access Notes

Gate Access to Launch requires SDHGPA Membership.

At the Cross-Roads: The best place to park would be up the road from the actual Cross Roads. When parking at the Cross-Roads, please keep in mind that you are parking in the actual LZ. Yes, it is small with obstacles without cars to complicate matters.
