Doherty Slide is approx 45 miles east of Lakeview. Pilots used to launch from roadside pullouts until the BLM made a custom launch and parking area for us. Daytime conditions can be very strong here and launching midday can be challenging, Glass Offs here are spectacular with miles of ridge to fly.
