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

Runway dry and firm. South end a little softer. A lot of shallow cow hoof prints everywhere but very shallow. Some stock off the north end. Windsock good.

Runway was fine. Some cattle tracks and vehicle tracks made it look more rutted than it really was. Winds were calm.

Firm and in great condition. Some cattle tracks from when it was wet in the parking area and on the strip. Some cow pies but otherwise everything looked good.
