There are streamers and one can launch anywhere from NW to NE, depending which side of the cone you pick. In the valley. Beware of typical building afternoon West wind. Driving directions: In Hesperia take (1) Main Rd E or Arrowhead Lake Rd N to (2) Rock Springs Rd E to (3) Roundup Way E to (4) Japatul S to (5) Juniper Flats SW. Follow Juniper Flats up the mountain, I think you turn L at the first fork, anyway the path up to launch is fairly obvious for the most part once you have the coordinates plugged in. The final stretch up to launch is pretty rocky, although a 2WD SUV or truck with good clearance should make it. You'll know you're at launch when you can see the mountains at Wrightwood to the NW in the distance. na. na.

Typical building afternoon West wind accelerated around the shoulder of this ridge.
