    Description

    The Fry Canyon airstrip is a beautiful strip next to Fry Canyon - a slot canyon that contains ancient Anasazi indian cliff dwellings. The runway (12-30) is adjacent to Hwy 95, and runs uphill 1.7% to the North. Land North of the road that crosses the runway, the area south of the road is good for camping, but be cautious when taxiing as there are ruts and very soft areas. The airstrip North of the road is about 2300' long. There is a windsock that is in decent condition.

    If you follow the road that crosses the airstrip to the East about 1/4 mile, it dead ends on the edge of the canyon and gives you a fantastic view of the Anasazi ruins on the opposite side. Follow Hwy 95 South from the airstrip about 1 mile and you can enter the slot canyon under the bridge where the road crosses above the canyon. You will get wet, and if you intend to hike all the way North to the ruins, you will need harnesses and rope as there is a 45' rappel required.

      Today I flew into Hite, it is a 2000 ft. narrow paved strip. it has a 5% uphill grade for landing and you usually depart downhill no matter what the winds are doing.

      hite utah departure redtail aviation cessna 172 enh1 movie

      Revisiting Hite airstrip in Utah (UT03) overlooking the Colorado river at the top end of the Glen Canyon Reservoir (Lake Powell). We were fortunate to be there to experience scattered thunderstorms with heavy rain as they drenched their way across the magnificent craggy landscape. Hite is at 3,840ft and on the Denver sectional marked as hazardous. It's 2,200ft long asphalt E/Wsloping up to the West with runway over-run off a nasty rocky escarpment. The aircraft taking off is a Cessna 172 from Redtail Aviation out of Canyonlands (CNY) Moab

      In November 2009, I flew to Monument Valley with my flying buddies Paul and Mike. We continued on for 3 days of flying and two nights of camping at Utah backcountry airstrips strips. The first was Nokai Dome, on a rise overlooking the San Juan River and Lake Powell.
