As mentioned previously, the two track down the road, while a little uneven on the north end, is a better landing surface. That being said, I landed next to the two track where I could see other tracks and it wasn't bad. The surface currently has about a 1/4" give to it so not very soft. The two track road was nice and firm. Two other aircraft with me took off on the road. The Y to the east offers a good place to turn around. The other aircraft took off to the west on the road, starting at the south end of the strip. The road is firm and smooth. A little work on the strip removing some bushes and installing a windsock would be good projects for this strip. Beautiful view of the Colorado River.
Nice strip with good views of the Colorado River nearby. Landing is best on the eastern side of the runway as on the western side it has been slightly rutted out with two track from vehicles. Looks like possible camping on the northern end of the runway, but the area is fairly flat all around. Noticeable slope in the runway up to the south. Here's a video of scouting the strip, doing one test touch, and then finally landing: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZ4xBUTuvNjChC3e6
