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

Landed upstream, runway is firm. There is a tree growing to the left of the runway, windsock is in good condition, and grass is starting to grow as well.

Overflew early doors on 9th May 2025. Looks like some folks were having fun!

North 3/4 of runway is in great shape. Nice and hard-packed. South 1/4 is soft for smaller tire birds like us - make sure to touch down just beyond the soft spot or turn around before that portion on your landing rollout if you aren’t blessed with bigger tires.
