PACKSADDLE MOUNTAIN, TEXAS

Packsaddle is a privately owned ranch mountain site northwest of Austin Texas.  It is 350 feet relief and a 1:1 glide to the very large grassy landing field.  With a well constructed ramp it is one of the easiest flying sites anywhere.  It is an excellent training mountain for first flights and gives more advanced pilots a good place to have fun or start a cross country flight.   Cost is $240 /year through Mojo Flying Supplies-- Hill Country Hang Gliding.

The picture at right shows me heading out over Lake LBJ on a short little XC.  Packsaddle is in the background between my head and the wing.  I landed at a beach party and  one person thought I was from Mars.  Can you say Hic-Up?  It really does look like a saddle up that high.
