Pakoon Airstrip, AZ

The gravel airstrip located in the isolated Pakoon Basin of Mohave County, Arizona, is overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and functions as an essential hub for fire watch personnel within the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument.

This facility is strategically positioned in a dry environment with sparse vegetation, and its well-kept access roads are suitable for ATV side-by-side and high-clearance vehicles, aimed at facilitating swift responses to wildfires and conducting routine patrols.

The BLM's management guarantees the preservation of this distinctive ecosystem and demonstrates our dedication to conservation in the core of the Mojave Desert.
