    Description

    1500' x 35' land up hill to the north, take off down hill to south.  Cinder or gravel like material gets dragged occassionaly. Don't land on the old strip by the hot springs is not maintained and you'll get chewed out by the park attendant.

    10-15-2011...... Remeasured the runway and came up with 1300' x 30' usable. The sign at the strip reads the the field elevation is 1360' (I assume MSL). At the north end of the runway it is approximately 1385' and at the south end of the runway, it is approximately 1340'. About a 3-4% uphill slope to the north. There are two tie down spots on the north end of the strip.

    6-12-13.......The Saline Valley is on the Las Vegas Sectional, but they do not show the strip on the Sectional. The strip is located in the north east corner of the Valley. Also the Restrooms are 1/2 mile from the strip over at the Hot Springs. They are some of the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen.

      Saline Valley Chicken Strip airstrip (October 2009). This airstrip located in Death Valley National Park. The strip is next to an amazing hotsprings. It is a great backcountry runway for pilots comfortable with short (~1,400'), uphill runways with no go around. If you've done Cabin Creek in Idaho, this is a bit easier. It is still pretty challenging but has been done in C152. My 182 had no problems. Also be careful of military activity. There were 15 F18s in the Saline MOA. They pass ~500 ft AGL off the departure end of the runway. Listen for the roar of incoming jets before taking off.
