I think it is Gouldings in Monument Valley, Utah. They operate a campground, motel, restaurant, store, etc. Also sightseeing flights.

The previously given answer of Marble Canyon is correct.



Too bad you can't bank in Google Earth (as far as I know).

Default Marble Cyn

I've not landed there at Marble Cyn, but have eaten at the restaurant 3 times, before rafting down the Grand Cyn from Lee's Ferry. Usually see airplanes parked there. Beautiful area!! Amazing tittering boulders just down the road toward Lee's Ferry.

There is a simple flight sim included with Google Earth, that allows banking; but only from a forward view. And in your Google shot, it starts to show the canyon (Colorado River) which close to being directly below the aircraft in the first pic.

Default Marble Canyon

Is it Marble Canyon Airport (L41) or as the previous "correct" guess of Marble Canyon - Cliff Dwellers? L41 has a paved runway which the picture shows whereas Cliff Dwellers is dirt.
