Wendy Lessig visited 6 months ago in a Piper PA-12 with 35” bushwheels tires

Landable with 20” (?) tires. Clumps of grass (see attached pictures). Wide open vistas. Would be windy with any weather. Bring tie-downs. Adjacent road would permit maintenance (which is needed). No windsock. This is a 360° video. Use your mouse, trackpad, tilt your mobile device or tablet, or use your finger on your mobile device or trackpad to view different perspectives. Video (takeoff) link: https://youtu.be/XzPUeLtOmLs In short, in my opinion, Dark Canyon North is a “keeper,” well worth visiting and possibly camping at.

Center of airstrip is clumpy grass, so it makes for a bumpy landing. Sagebrush is well enough off to the side to not be a factor.

Dry and firm right now. Grass is fairly tall.

Soft with clump grass growth. Some ATV tracks but no ruts. Would not recommend to stock nosewheels

Clumpy grass. Small Sage brush. Landed it, but it was rough. Picture is towards the west end of strip, east end is a little better.
