Description: Mineral Canyon's airstrip resides in the Green River canyon just south of the Bowknot Bend. River has a tendency to flood during the summer, so a thorough review of the airstrip prior to landing is imperative. Mineral Canyon is one of the three back country airstrips included in the State's "FLY UTAH Passport Program". To learn more, head to their website.
Runway: 2000 ft long x 40 ft wide dirt runway in generally good condition, however can be quite soft due to its propensity to flood.
Approach Considerations: Airstrip resides inside a canyon with rapidly rising terrain within 1000 feet of the airstrip rising over 1000 feet above the landing surface. Base jumping and other low-level aircraft operating around and near the airstrip. Please monitor CTAF and make position reports regularly.
Amenities: None
Windsock: Yes
I drove down to Mineral the weekend of November 3rd 2024 and it's in fantastic shape. Thanks to Roy for orchestrating the grading of the entire airstrip. The ruts and weeds are gone, it's back to full width and full length. Now fully functional and in better shape than I've seen in years! Runway: South end, near the grass is hard. Middle is hard North end is a tad soft, but with the recent precipitation, I'm sure this has firmed up. Parking area to the east is hard. Would be suitable for almost any aircraft including trikes.
