Description: Cedar Mountain's airstrip rests atop the similarly named Cedar Mountain, providing panoramic views of the Wasatch Plateau, Book Cliffs, Henry and La Sal Mountains.
Runway: 2000 feet long x 40 feet wide, well maintained gravel and dirt.
Approach Considerations: Southern end of the runway ends with a nice 1,500 feet vertical drop. Runway slopes uphill to the south. Be cognizant of vehicular traffic that may be driving on the southern end of the airstrip (Cedar Mountain Road runs through the runway).
Amenities: None
Windsock: Yes
The previous reports are accurate and very helpful. Runway 15 slopes uphill and therefore the favored runway for landing. I would add that a swell exists at the touchdown area of runway 15 so plan the touchdown a couple hundred feet from the end of runway 15 and avoid the surprise bump. The airport is a worthy stop having an awesome view from the runway.
Stopped in this morning to have some coffee and explore the strip for the first time, nice soft sandy/gravel. Little rocky at the start of the departure end of 33, taxied maybe 50ft or so down the runway before departing. Broken beer bottle shards in the camping area, would suggest bringing a trashbag for the next folks that head up there.
