About
Goodsprings is one of three launches in the Las Vegas area. It's primary hang glider use is for northeast winds. Paraglider pilots, however, use both the northeast facing launch and a south facing launch. Hang glider pilots use the Goodsprings launch primarily in the winter, late fall and early spring. During the warmer months they prefer to use another, nearby, southwest facing site called Tabletop. There is a well-graded gravel road (2 wheel drive) to launch.
