REFLECTOR: Utah Sightseeing

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi Bob, 

      Get to Sante Fe/Durango, head for four corners, head west at about 7500 feet and lower . You're in monument valley - get right down in them. Go about 200 miles. Repeat often.  If you stop at Santa Fe, 100+ art dealers within 2 miles of Market Plaza.  If you go south via Albequrque, real cheap gas & 2 runways at Dumas Moore County TX KDUX.

       Get a Grand Canyon special VFR chart, use the side that looks like the sectional - else stay at/above 14K. Other Natl parks be polite at 2000 AGL, or not, your choice. 

      O2 SHOULD be an absolute must - if you cant go around mountain weather, don't try going under when easier and smoother to go over it.

     Last I was there, the self serve at Winslow didn;t work, FBO & restaurant were deserted. Flagstaff good FBO - quick trip to lots of food choices. Sedona 15 minute flight away - great walking/shopping downtown area.

      Have a ball - take some water, nuts and apples.  Enjoy the unwritten national airport courtesy car system.  Utah -- good folks & 3 runways - lots of eats at Cedar City, cheap gas at Toolle Valley by Salt Lake CIty without having to squeeze by a mountain under class B to get to South Salt Liake City. 



Regards,

Jeff Barnes

I’m flying to Utah 
tomorrow and would like to fly through several of the National Parks on Friday –
Arches, Canyonlands, Glen
 Canyon , Grand Staircase,
 Zion , etc..  Is anyone a particular ‘pro’
with respect to procedures, clearances, check-in authorities, how low can you
go for these areas?  I’m coming from the East, so plan to make
Moab/Canyonlands (KCNY) my first stop, unless someone has a better suggestion. 

   

I would appreciate any suggestions, guidance, links or
anything else anyone thinks would be useful.  Sorry for the short fuse…
