Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip is a small, remote backcountry airfield at Littlefield, Arizona, sitting at 4098 feet in the canyon country near the western end of the Grand Canyon's north rim. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway with no instrument approach, making it a strictly VFR destination that will appeal to simulator pilots drawn to short, scenic canyon-country strips.
Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip is a small aerodrome at Littlefield, Arizona, in the remote canyon country of northern Arizona. It has a single hard-surfaced runway, 16/34, and no instrument approach, so it is flown entirely under visual flight rules. Its setting near the Grand Canyon's north rim, combined with its short length and lack of any navigational aids, makes it an interesting challenge for a simulator pilot seeking an out-of-the-way backcountry destination.
The airstrip is located in Mohave County, Arizona, near the town of Littlefield and close to the western end of the Grand Canyon's north rim, at coordinates 36.2565N, 113.231W. No controlled airspace, air traffic control service or published airspace boundaries are indicated for the field, consistent with its remote, uncontrolled character.
There is one physical runway, 16/34, measuring 3555 feet with a hard surface. No runway lighting or instrument landing system is provided, and the field is suitable for visual operations only.
No communications frequencies are published for Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip, so there is no dedicated CTAF or air traffic control service listed for the field. SkyVector notes a weather observation frequency of 119.42 associated with 'Canyon West' and cautions of turbulence near the canyon rims, a useful reminder for pilots operating in this terrain. No navaids or instrument approach procedures serve the airstrip.
The airstrip sits near the western end of the north rim of the Grand Canyon, with the surrounding canyon terrain itself serving as the principal visual reference for locating and approaching the field from the air.
