Be Aware of Canyon winds and density altitude. Runway 14 has a 1.7% uphill grade and several uneven “humps”. Use caution, the southern 3rd of the runway has a rut developing (several inches wide and deep by 80ft long) in the center of the runway (see picture). Parking area contains old mining debris, park with caution. No water or facilities near the airstrip.

Early visit. No gnats. Cows present but stayed on their side of the sagebrush. Surface in fantastic condition.

Two nice windsocks here. Most will land uphill, towards the southeast. The second half of the runway is best, especially the left side, so as to avoid the two track ruts on the right. This strip is almost a 1000' higher than Steamboat Mesa, so consider D.A., though the strip is extremely long.

Camping at Dolores Point

Added by Wendy Lessig 3 years ago

There is a nice camping area at the top end of the Dolores Point airstrip, large enough for several aircraft at a time. Short walk to the canyon rim and spectacular overlook.
