Gruver’s Mesa:
Description: The airstrip sits atop Gruver's Mesa just south of the San Rafael River.
Runway: Runway 9/27 consists of a 1370’x30’ cleared section on the western end of a two-track road (the full runway length is 3500', including the uncleared portion). Runway 5/23 is 2200' and is overgrown and not recommended.
Approach Considerations: The airstrip sits atop a mesa and approaches from any direction are unobstructed.
Amenities: Primitive camping is available on the strip. No formal amenities. The location offers good access to several slot canyons nearby. Moonshine Wash and Three Finger Canyon are two of them. Via the slot canyons, the Green and San Rafael Rivers should be accessible as well.
Windsock: No
It looks like a new windsock was put up this year. The strip is in great shape. The views are pretty good too. It was disappointing, however, to see a numerous tire tracks from pilots taxiing way off the edge of the strip to turn around or park. Those tracks will take years to heal. There are ample turn around circles at both ends and one in the middle too.
Hey Paul. I just got a maule M-5 too. Would love to get out and fly with you
