Cory Wolf visited Mineral Canyon 3 months ago in a C205 with 850 tires

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.

Cory Wolf visited Horseshoe Canyon 3 months ago in a C205 with 850 tires

Runway surface is firm with a few softer spots. Edges are quite soft, especially those areas without any vegetation. The far north end is a little overgrown. Not really needed but with a little work it could be cleared and the small turn around spot could be more easily accessed.

James Hardy visited Spiral Jetty 4 months ago in a Rans S20 with 26 tires

Full of cows and horses. Lots of cow crap. They are feeding the cattle and horses on the runway. I couldn't land.

Scott Aldrich visited Spiral Jetty 4 months ago in a Super Cub (Javron)

Could not land, the cows live there it seems. It looks like they are feeding them there on the strip? First time I've seen it up close so not sure. I did not see the windsock, where is it located?

Dan Richards visited Hidden Splendor 4 months ago in a Rans S-21

First time. Landed north. Strip and windsock in good condition. Approach over/through the canyon from the south was fantastic. Captain Obvious-“Don’t over shoot on the rollout”.
