1000 feet of runway has been cleared by the UBCP. Overrun is available as well but brush gets bigger at the ends. A new windsock stand and sock have been put up as well. There are some nearby slot canyons to explore as well as wild horses.

Ever since I read about the drug bust here I’ve always wanted to land here. Thanks to those that cleared out about 1000’ of it. The strip is pretty lumpy/rough and more noticeable taxiing than landing. The road is definitely a nicer option. Very smooth but be away that it does have some fairly deep, sharp drop offs on its edges. At the intersection north of the strip there does appear to be not only ample room to turn around but also to park off the road.

My first time back since our work party a couple months ago. A surprising amount of vegetation as already started growing back. About 30-50 wild horses in the area. Pretty neat to see!

Added by Josh Kelson 1 year ago

There are wild horses that roam the area. People will travel from around the world to photograph the wild horses in Utah.
