There is no individual or company charged
with monitoring our activities....
So protect yourself and our sport by using common sense. When flying in or near the Navajo Tribal Park border stay 1500 ft above the desert floor. Always fly at an altitude that will allow you to glide to a pick-up point.

Below are the Ultra Lite procedures for Gouldings Lodge and Trading Post, please print, sign and turn it in at the campground office. Be advised, the management expects General Aviation traffic over the weekend, fortunately during the first and last hours of daylight the airstrip will be clear.

All Goulding’s Lodge is doing is following up on the park’s wishes. Goulding’s Lodge has no connection with the operation of the park, or their policies.

FAQ's
1) Is there a fee to go into the park?
The Navajo request a $5 donation for each day you fly into the park. If you want to make a donation they will take collections at the Park Entrance.
2) What Facilities are available?
Gouldings Lodge and trading post is a self contained village with Motel, Restaurant, Grocery Store, Fast Food, Gas Station and Campground. The campground accommodates RV's and has areas specified for tent camping. It includes a swimming pool, laundry, gift shop, Internet station and showers. There are also"Porta Johns" located around the campsites.

YES ! Ship to: Goulding's Lodge 1000 Main Street Monument Valley, UT 84536-0001
435-727-3231 Mark your box with pilots name.
4) Is Aviation gas available at the airstrip?
NO ! If you require av gas....bring it with you.
5) What about a Banquet?
Saturday night the restaurant is going to hold a private room for us. To keep things simple everyone can order off the standard menu.
6) Do I need to drive from the campground to the LZ?
Probably, it's 3/4 of a mile from the campground to the airstrip. If you have a trike you could probably drive it down but... there is a grade and unless you have brakes your boots are going to be smoking by the time you get there. Gouldings has assigned an area at the airstrip where we can park trailers.
Be aware !
This is not a Fly-In for beginners. We are launching at 5500 MSL. When the conditions are perfect, anybody can fly Monument Valley Tribal Park. However, anything over nil wind will create mechanical rotor and conditions can change fast. Remember the windward side of one Monument is often the lee side of another. When in doubt, stay high.
