What once started as a water depot for steam engines headed between Salt Lake and Wendover has now become one of Utah's iconic backcountry rest stops. And intertwined with its previous history serving as a railroad stop and the only place in Utah to taxi your airplane up to the gas pumps, Delle once served as an auxiliary field for the Wendover Air Force Base and Salt Lake Army Air Base. Additionally, it appears as though Delle served as an auxiliary field prior to its brief military service, having read in the 1931 Air Commerce Bulletin, "The intermediate landing field 3 miles west of Delle has been permanently discontinued."1 For now, the private land owners have been generous to avail the airstrips for public use, and the UBCP requests those who use the airstrip to be careful for other airstrip users as the airstrip serves as a starting-off point for many OHV riders.
