Airstrip visible but looks to be somewhat overgrown.

The landable area is the wide airstrip close to and parallel to the road. Beware of erosion ruts that cross the landing area. Smoothest on the east end. A better landing airstrip is the one that shoots off diagonally to the right (south) in the photo, but it would need to be dragged to remove the sagebrush vegetation. The diagonal airstrip would take less work to make it safe and airworthy than the one that is next to the road. Do not land on the diagonal airstrip now since it’s got too much vegetation.

Smooth on the NE end, pretty lumpy on the SW end. Land closer to the NE end, but watch out for the drainage ruts on the east side. They could make for a bad day. If you stay fairly close to the road the ruts shouldn't be a factor. You can see the ruts in a few pictures.
