There are four locations in Northern Utah that offer regular towing operations:
- Heber City (Tuesday-Sunday)
- Morgan County
- Cedar Valley
- Logan
In my humble opinion, all are pretty spectacular venues, each with a distinct character. For more information specifically on Morgan, you can contact me directly using the webmaster link on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info.
There are also the planned events in Nephi starting June 30 and the first week in August. More information at ssa.org on those.

Dan,
I'd highly recommend you consider including the Nephi OLC/Cross-Country Camp in your itinerary ( June30-July 5) if your schedule can accommodate it. I've flown most of the Utah sites (a lot, but not as much as the locals). Nephi gets started earlier, has fewer technical aspects associated with getting up and out and offers spectacular soaring. Last year's Nephi event was well run, attracted a fun group of experienced and budding XC pilots, and had unbelievable support from the local community. The airport is gorgeous, well-maintained with a long and wide paved runway that is NOTAMed closed during the soaring day for the event (there's no power traffic anyway). They'll have a bunch of tow capacity at your disposal, ground support to keep track of you, social events. It's a boatload of fun.
