Do you have the nearest airport identifier? or GPS coordinates? There is no airport named "Monument Valley".

Looks like the identifier, per AirNav.com, is UT25 - it's a private strip. Sounds like a cool destination. I'll definately keep it in mind for when the airplane is flying.

Shamelessly stolen from the AZ-RV-List..... :)

I believe it is now 71V
Lat/Long = N 37 degrees 1.00 min, W 110 degrees, 12.04 minutes

VOR/DME fixes for 71V

Runway 16/34: 4000 feet long.

Land uphill runway 16. Hard dirt for first 4/5 of runway. Takeoff
downhill runway 34, asphalt for first 1/5 of takeoff run.

Elevation: 5,192
Pattern altitude: 6,200 left base for 16

Tiedown cables are available but bring ropes, or ropes and tiedown

Useful frequencies:

CTAF: 122.9
Multicom over the monuments: 122.75

you will need to be above 10,000 for radar service

picture of runway
 

If thats "bring your own babe", then I am covered.;)

Here is a picture of the runway. It is interesting to have a rock face of a vertical cliff right at the end of the runway when you are approaching. Not a lot of room for a go-around.


The twins from Las Vegas that bring in the tourists land and take off on the last 900 ft of the runway which is asphalted.

And a "twin" at Monument Valley, because I like this pic. Taken last March.

BTW -- first pic to this forum from me. We'll see if it works. :)
