Ron Freier visited Fry Canyon 4 months ago in a Rans S20 with 8.5 tires

Airstrip in pretty good shape aside from all the small sage makes bumpy. Landed on west side of where the access road crosses.

Most of the field is great. South east end….first 100 to 200 is really soft dirt. The rest of the strip is nice and hard.

As others have commented the ground is a little soft. Cows were out but vacated after a low pass.

Chris Robison visited Gold Creek / Shootering 4 months ago in a Zenith 701 with 22” tires

Very unique and beautiful place to land an airplane and hike around. Any wind can make approach and departure rather squirrelly as this airstrip sits in a mountainous area with terrain on three sides. Landing uphill to the north is recommended, on the northern third of the runway. There may be 800 feet usable but it is the smoothest section. Airstrip surface is covered in small rocks and clumpy grass. Two fire rings at north parking area.

Everything looks great. Approach from the south is an awesome picture.... Runway and windsock in great shape.
