We embarked on a Utah Backcountry Adventure. Join us as we depart West Desert Airpark (UT9) in a RANS S-20 Raven.

After a quick pit stop at Huntington (69V) the Premier Utah "Front Country" Airport we scoped out Cedar Mountain Airstrip (Elevation 7538 ft MSL) and Mexican Mountain Airstrip (Elevation 4461 ft MSL). The winds and runway conditions kept us flying by and we caught our breath at Green River Airport (U34) before heading downstream to Mineral Canyon Airstrip (UT75 Elevation 3946 ft MSL). We camped overnight and the sky was so clear you could see the airplane shadows cast by a half moon. We woke up and were wheels up in the still morning air and headed for Hidden Splendor Airstrip (Elevation 4819 MSL).

After breakfast and enjoying the scenery we had to make a quick fuel stop at Richfield (KRIF). Civilization quickly came back into view of the cockpit and we caught some sights from the air finally landing happy and tired from the adventure back home at West Desert (UT9).

Historic Wendover Utah/Nevada - Airfield Museum
The desert oasis of Wendover may be best known today for land speed records attempted on the nearby Bonneville Salt Flats, but this state-straddling community first used this world-renowned, otherworldly landscape as a top-secret military training site during World War II. This remote desert landscape was a specialized training base for B-17 and B-24 bomber crews, including the 509th Composite Group and B-29 Enola Gay unit who carried the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today, military history lovers will discover a nearly complete historic Wendover Air Force Base-turned-Historic Wendover Airfield Museum Plus the victory highway - Lincoln Highway and more

Putting this out for two reasons.. as a reference for anyone else thinking of landing there, this will show what is involved, and also as a little preview video to my full Utah adventure that is ~28min and will be uploaded on Monday hopefully. (Soon). Poison Spring is rated as the most hazardous / difficult strip in Utah. My thoughts are that you need fairly large tires and landing gear that can take the rough / roller coaster section through the middle. If you can land fairly slow/short, and have the right gear, it's not too big of a deal. Large/fast airplanes are gong to have a real hard time maneuvering the tight canyon wall and getting stopped without damaging the gear. Depending on the plane, this can go from not too bad - to straight up broken! Thanks for watching... the full video is coming together really well, excited to get it posted soon!
