BLM Airstrip

The gravel airstrip in the remote Pakoon Basin of Mohave County, Arizona, is maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and serves as a crucial hub for fire watch personnel within the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. This outpost is strategically located in an arid landscape with minimal vegetation, and its well-maintained access roads accommodate ATV side-by-side and high-clearance vehicles, targeting rapid response to wildfires and routine patrols. The BLM's stewardship ensures the protection of this unique ecosystem and exemplifies our commitment to conservation in the heart of the Mojave Desert.
