Landed/took-off on grass section to east side of the two track. Smooth enough with no large brush, rocks, or dips noted even with 8.00 mains and stock tail wheel. Slants uphill when facing south. Sorry not sure how to remove the extra irrelevant image.

Didn’t stop but rolled the surface next to The two track. Seemed to be plenty smooth for big tires. Not sure I’d land with 8.50s or smaller. The two track appeared to be a better option for that.

Landing strip with some tiny bushes. Check out for a good touch down area. Next to the road is best.

The strip is very narrow, so you have to land on and stay in the wheel marks. No parking or camping area noted. Otherwise matches the Fly Utah! data.
