At the Squaw Peak Overlook, the setup area is below the low stone wall bordering the parking lot. This grassy quarter-acre hillside affords plenty of room to set up and launch several gliders. The overlook is a popular tourist attraction, and crowds tend to gather at precisely the time pilots want to fly—late afternoons and evenings before the glassoff. During preflight operations, politely ask onlookers to remain behind the stone wall. A west wind works best. Midday valley heating produces cyclic thermic turbulence, and rotors behind the launch area are common.
