This page has information concerning every place I know of in the State of Utah where
you can get an aerotow and fly a full scale glider. There are links to more
information where it is available. Turnpoint information is also available.
Utah Turnpoint Information
This spreadsheet is in Microsoft Works format. It contains many turnpoints for
the Utah area. It was created with the Heber City airport in mind so the points are
surrounding that area. They go all the way beyond the northern end of the state, to
the southern end so they can be used from all over. Select turn points, enter them
into the formulas at the top and the spreadsheet will calculate distances for each leg and
totals for you.
Click here to download the Utah
Turnpoints Spreadsheet in Microsoft Works format. Some browers may attempt
to view rather than download this document, if this happens to you, shift-click on the
link. You can also use this document by reading it into Microsoft Excel and
many other "Works" compatible spreadsheets. These turn points are also
available on the World Wide Soaring
Turn Point Exchange in several other formats. Thanks to John Leibacher for his
work there.

The Morgan Airport in Morgan Utah is East of Ogden a few miles up Weber Canyon off Hwy
84. For information, call Wayne Wilkinson at (801) 876-3156
Directions: From the SLC area, head North on I-15. Just past Lagoon (an
ammusement park in Farmington) is the Hwy 89 exit that says "North to South
Ogden." Take that exit and go about 11 miles to I-84, get on I-84 heading east and go
up the Weber Canyon. Take the next exit (3 or 4 miles, just past a rest-stop). The exit
turns left passing under the freeway, then turn right and parallel the freeway on the
north side. Follow this road and you will pass Old Farm Market (about 1 mile). Go
about another mile to where the road Y's to the left just prior to going up a small hill.
Turn left at the Y (Cottonwood Cyn) and follow it to the airport which will be about 1/2
mile. Just inside the gate on the left is the airport office.
