Monument Valley Airport (UT25) is a small private airstrip serving the Oljato-Monument Valley area of Utah, close to Goulding's Lodge on the Navajo Nation. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway and no published communications, making it a strictly PPR destination for pilots wanting to visit the famous red-rock buttes from the air.
Monument Valley Airport is a small private aerodrome situated at Oljato-Monument Valley in southern Utah, close to the iconic sandstone buttes and mesas that give the area its name. It sits near Goulding's Lodge, a well-known base for visitors to the valley, and offers simulator pilots the chance to land within sight of one of the most recognisable landscapes in the American West. The field is private and modest in scale, with no fuel or maintenance facilities, reflecting its role as a quiet backcountry strip rather than a commercial hub.
The airport lies at Oljato-Monument Valley, Utah, on the Navajo Nation near the Arizona-Utah border. It sits within the open, sparsely controlled airspace typical of this remote high-desert region, with no air traffic control presence at the field itself. Pilots operating here should expect uncontrolled operations and rely on see-and-avoid procedures.
The airport has a single physical runway, 16/34, surfaced in hard material and measuring 3,869 feet in length. There is no ILS or other instrument approach aid associated with the runway.
No communications frequencies are published for Monument Valley Airport, and there is no air traffic control or advisory service at the field. There are no navaids or instrument approaches associated with the airport, so arrivals and departures should be conducted under visual flight rules with careful attention to other traffic in the vicinity.
No published circuit or joining procedures are available for this airport. Given its private status and lack of radio communications, pilots should plan a cautious visual approach, remaining alert for other aircraft and local terrain, and should not attempt to land without having first obtained permission from the operator.
No formal visual reference points are published for the airport, though its position near Goulding's Lodge and the wider Monument Valley landscape of sandstone buttes provides a highly distinctive visual environment for locating the field from the air.
Monument Valley Airport is a private airfield, and prior permission is required before any landing. Facilities are limited to private hangar space and tie-down parking, with no aviation fuel, airframe or powerplant services, and no bottled or bulk oxygen available. The field supports a small number of based aircraft, reflecting its character as a private strip rather than a public-use airport.
