All Airstrip Reports
Landed Boulevard today. The previous report from Randy Owen still applies and is still accurate. Fun strip, in a really cool area I would like to come back and hike with more time. I would call this one more advanced of a backcountry strip because of the meandering two track and sagebrush and high density altitude.
Airstrip is in very good condition. Two track on the north side of the strip isn’t deep and still leaves plenty of room beside for landing. Walking trails nearby take you to the canyon rim, and there are campsites along the strip and by the 815 track at the south end. Thanks to those who maintain the strip and replace the windsocks.
Landed to the west past the grassy area that covers first portion of the runway, took off to the south from the very west end. West end has soft stuff, but nothing unmanageable with 8.5 tires. I taxied all the way to the east end past the grassy patch and the runway was better there than on the west end. I will use the whole runway in both directions next time. Definite danger of the airstrip turning into a mud nightmare with any kind of precipitation. Its all just river silt.
