Rustler Canyon

Rustler Canyon is a remote backcountry airstrip (09UT) in Lockhart Basin near Bears Ears National Monument, offering primitive dry camping and access to hiking in the Canyonlands area.

The recently graded dirt runway (1,830 x 50 ft) is suitable for small aircraft and provides access to the Colorado River approximately 2-3 miles downstream via canyon hiking.

No amenities are available at the airstrip beyond a windsock; it is open for non-commercial recreational use with permission required prior to landing.
