About This Spot
In spring a resident redtail hawk WILL attack your wing, so fly there at your own risk. Best to pick a day when you know you'll be up and out almost immediately. Sticking around longer than 5 minutes is a guarantee you'll get attacked.
Takeoff altitude: 567m

Access Notes
It IS possible to drive up to launch, if you get with a local who has a key. Otherwise, it's best to hike from the parking lot on 7th Avenue.
