Summary edit

Description

...5… Prepare to launch

…4… high atop Woodrat Mountain

…3… near Medford, Oregon

…2… where hang gliders and paragliders step off a 1000-foot cliff

…1 soaring high in the sky!

Between the towns of Jacksonville and Ruch, west of Medford, this unique mountain top launching area offers a specially cleared and sloped launch point with a gradient that maximizes safe and effective take offs. The site frequently experiences moderate thermal uplifts which provide an opportunity for excellent gliding. The landing area is approximately one half mile from the launch area with an approximately 1000' vertical descent.
