Remote airstrip gateway to the Grand Canyon's inner reaches.
Location
Littlefield, United States
Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip (IATA: GCT, ICAO: K1Z1) is a small private airstrip located in a remote area of northwestern Arizona near Littlefield, serving as an access point to the Bar 10 Ranch and the western Grand Canyon region. The strip is situated on the Arizona Strip, a stretch of land north of the Colorado River and south of the Utah border, in extremely rugged and isolated terrain.
The airstrip primarily serves Bar 10 Ranch operations, which offers helicopter tours, horseback riding, and river expedition staging for Colorado River rafting trips. It is not a commercial airport and does not offer scheduled airline service, functioning instead as a private facility for ranch guests and tour operators.
The facility is unpaved and designed for small general aviation aircraft. It plays an important logistical role connecting visitors to one of the most remote and scenic areas adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park.
Getting to & from
Ground transport is extremely limited due to the remote location; visitors typically arrange private transfers or helicopter connections through Bar 10 Ranch.
