I've been looking for a place in the area too. I doubt timberline allows kites, though heather canyon would be decent now and then, except for the avalanches

I assume that there's some places around meadows... or palmer glacier would be great, except for the unexpected 60mph gusts of wind

Elk meadow is probably not big enough, but I haven't been there in a while.

This is all I've got
