hyper172 0 #1 February 7, 2011 Mingus Mountain is outside of Cottonwood, AZ near Prescott and Flagstaff. One of the top Hang Gliding and Para Gliding launch sites in AZ. Does anyone know of anyone ground launching this site? or the possibility of ground launching here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zymurdoo 0 #2 February 9, 2011 I'll start off by saying I have never ground launched (intentionally). In recent years the Mingus hang glider launch site has been improved and can now accommodate Paragliders and we see them quite often. As for a ground launched canopy, I would be most concerned with a suitable landing area. The mountain is covered with thick manzanita and other brush. There are several two track roads criss-crossing the mountain, however. Are you local? Blue Skies, Soft Docks and Happy Landings!

Yeah obstacles were my biggest concern with the area. Im thinking about driving up there and walking the area in the next couple of weeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
