Airstrip is visible. Some growth. SITLA land. Possible slot canyon access. Could be a good candidate for rehab and a windsock.

This is a beautiful area and a good strip. Some growth but it is avoidable and there is a good landing area mostly free of it. SW/NE oriented runway. Uphill to the NE. I bet winds could be a challenge here occasionally. A little bumpy but not bad.

There are some 6-8" bushes scattered throughout the strip, but plenty for room to land between them. The ground is surprisingly compact and firm. There is some GREAT landscape and geological features nearby. I'd like to return to camp and explore more of the surrounding area. Uphill landing, be conscious of go around. I landed and the ground was surprisingly firm yet smooth.
