Comments:
The flying fields vary based on wind direction. The wind is sometimes turbulent. Stable kites that handle a wide range of winds do best. There are trees and stumps to anchor large kites; stakes do not work well in the rocks/soil of the summit. Call with any questions or to get more information.
