The Point of the Mountain

Pilots come from around the world to experience the smooth air, predictable weather and consistent ridge soaring conditions at the Point. In the mornings the wind normally blows from the south, so most lessons are taught on the south side. In the afternoon, the winds normally switch and blow from the north, and we fly on the north launch. Both sights offer drive up convenience (no hiking the hill for each flight!). Flights of several hours are very common at the Point.

North Side

Take I-15 South of Salt Lake City, UT take the Bluffdale exit 288. Go left (east) under the highway and then go straight through the stop light. Take a right on Traverse Ridge Road (by the Chevron gas station) Then make a right on Steep Mountain Dr. Follow through the neighborhood until you reach the County Flight Park Parking Lot. The first area is the Hang Glider set up area, the next area to the West in the Paragliding area. Welcome to the North Side.

South Side

Take I-15 South of Salt Lake City, UT for 12 miles to the Bluffdale exit 288. Go left (east) under highway to the first stop light and take a right on the frontage road which is called Minuteman Drive. Follow it South for 2.5 miles to the sharp left bend in the road. There is a sign for "Point Of The Mountain Flight Park". Go left at the sign on to a dirt road. Follow it to the right, past the landing area and continue up and to the left to get to the launch. Once on the bench, take a left into the parking area. The road is dirt but in great shape. Welcome to the South Side.
