Buckhorn flats sits on top of Carpenter Ridge between Paradox Valley and Roc Creek. Winds can be very squirrely here at times. Runway direction 01/19. Land South and takeoff North, uphill to the South. Airstrip is not very flat, and has three small hills, but overall the surface is fairly smooth. Best touchdown spot is right past North turnaround. Nice fire ring and flat area in an island of trees 100ft NW of the North turnaround. There are also water troughs in the vicinity so cattle may be present certain times of the year. Beautiful location!
