    Description

    Beautiful but rough airstrip on the east slopes of the Henry Mountains, UT. (see my PIREP)
    Primitive camping but developed campground about three miles away! Mostly Indian Sage and Juniper in the vicinity but there is an old miners camp with a little creek and lush oak trees just a quarter mile southeast of the lower RWY thresh hold. Water in the creek is flowing but we did not taste it.
    Lots of hiking an mountain biking possibilities!

      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.

      One of the most exciting stories of lost treasure comes from the early days of the Mormon settlers in Utah. If you have ever been to Salt Lake City, the most impressive site is the Mormon Temple. On the very top of the temple is a statue of the angel, Moroni. The statue is covered with solid gold. According to Mormon legend the gold was provided by Thomas Rhoads, from mines known only to him and then lost forever in the Utah back country.

      Landing at Hooper, CO (PVT) for a dip in the Sand Dunes Pool (HD)

      This is a very cool place to visit if you get a chance. The airstrip is located on private property and you must call in advance to get permission. The Sand Dunes pool exceeded my expectations and the atmosphere, pool, service, food is terrific! Must see!

      The airstrip is hard packed and fairly smooth, parking is located at the far west end near the road. DO NOT land on the airstrip without permission and if farmers are working in the field.
