The Y

About

The Y favors a west wind of 10 mph or greater. There is reported to be a thermal trigger associated with this launch, so soaring flights are possible. Expect moderate midday thermic turbulence. Late afternoons offer the best conditions. From Salt Lake City head south on I-15 to Exit 265 in Provo. Proceed east on SR-114 / Center Street through downtown Provo, through the roundabout all the way to 900 East. Turn left and go north on 900 East to 820 North, and turn right. In less than a mile turn right on Oak Cliff Drive, and right again on N Terrace Drive. In 500 feet bear left and follow signs to the parking lot. This is the trailhead. The route you just followed will take you past Kiwanis Park. Stop at the LZ and scout the landing area in the center of the park for organized activities (like soccer games with goal posts, etc.) before proceeding to launch.
