Information updated May 13, 2021 @ 7:39pm

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.

In good shape and a fantastic area. As others have noted, the eastern side of the runway is a bit rougher due to some drainage particularly toward the top. Regardless it is not significant.

Great shape! A couple ruts on the north end, east side, easily avoided.

surprisingly, absolutely smooth with an undulating uphill landing to the south... throttle up to an amazing view on a wide flat top.

Surface slightly damp after rains on 5/3/21 but no mud. There are some small ruts from ATV’s and vehicles but very doable with 8.50 mains. Camping and parking areas are in great shape.

Dolores Point is in the best condition I’ve seen it. Very smooth.
