Vista Point
- Location: 3 mi N of Jenner. DeLorme 92 A3
- Launch Direction: SSW, prefrontal or just post frontal usually best bet
- Elevation: 650'
- Rating: Hang 4, SW members only
- Cautions: top landing site, few bail outs below, rugged cliffs, requires good pilot judgement. Not currently open all year; check with SW members. The area for top landings is large, but due to the nature of the terrain a severe wind gradient is normal in soarable conditions, and dangerous rotors may exist downwind from the knoll behind launch. Be aware of the lie of the terrain BEFORE you launch, maintain plenty of airspeed when landing, and be prepared for a sudden descent in the last 20 feet.
- Paragliding: might be cool
- Records: 2K' altitude
