Description

Ibex Hardpan, also known as the Tule Valley Hardpan, is a dry lake bed located west of Delta in central Utah. There is no designated runway; however, pilots are encouraged to use the dry lake surface south of the island for landing, particularly during large fly-ins. A windsock is mounted on top of the island as shown.

Given the nature of the terrain, surface conditions can change significantly with weather. The lake bed also contains numerous unmarked hazards, including watering troughs, wet areas, and springs. Pilots are strongly encouraged to conduct a low inspection pass before landing — please keep fly-bys over the intended landing surface rather than over parked aircraft.

Ibex Hardpan falls within and adjacent to several Military Operating Areas. Pilots should contact Salt Lake Center on 127.825 or Clover Control on 134.1 for advisories pertaining to the SEVIER A/B/C/D MOAs (surface from 100' AGL up to 17,999' MSL).
