Description: Dirty Devil sits on a raised flat-top mesa immediately east of the Dirty Devil River.
Runway: 1200 ft long x 18 ft wide runs the entire length of the mesa. Airstrip can be soft at certain times of the year.
Approach Considerations: Short runway with no safety overruns on either end. Recommend landing north and departing south due to slight uphill grade. First hundred feet of landing distance has in the past been softer than the majority of the landing surface.
Amenities: None. Parking area at the northwest end of the landing surface can only accommodate 2-3 airplanes.
Windsock: Yes, but watch out for cacti around the windsock!
Camping at the Dirty Devil airstrip is an amazing experience. Since it is on a shelf within a canyon, the red rock cliffs are majestic in the dawn and sunset light. The dark skies make for brilliant stargazing. Beware of plentiful cactus and thorns when choosing a spot to pitch your tent.
