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.....

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

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

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.
