Really fun strip. Plenty of room for my 90 horses to get me off the ground. It’s in great shape, I’d say it’s smoother than the gravel strip at CNY. The mentioned “white pole in cairn” is gone on the south end, but it’s fairly obvious you don’t want to touch down in the weedy southern 100’.

I know, it was Friday the 13th! Couldn’t pass up landing here on the way home from Moab. Great strip by the river. Clean camp sites and runway in good shape. Runway turns to softer sandy on the north 1/3. Landed 33, took off 15. Cool, fast climbing day! Love the little Husky!

The strip was firm and smooth. Didn't notice any soft spots and there is minimal grass or weed growth.

The first 100' or so of 32 is very soft. There is a cairn with a white pole sticking out of it indicating approximately where the soft area begins. If taking off north recommend not taxiing beyond that cairn/pole.

Both times we’ve landed here in last couple of weeks, there were mule deer on the grassy end of the southern end of the strip...they ran off when they heard us coming!
