I'm planning on spending Saturday night at the Marble Canyon Lodge after spending Friday night at the Cooper State Fly-In. I've searched the forums and read several trip reports as well as watched a bunch of cockpit video landings at Marble Canyon.
I'm looking for any advice anyone has on the approach and landing. What's the best way to descend into the canyon? I'm planning on landing there around 1 or 2 in the afternoon, do you think that might be too late and the winds will have picked up? Is Paige a decent source for what to expect the winds to be at Marble Canyon? Is there anyone on the Unicom at Marble Canyon that can give me the current winds?
Any advice or experiences you can share are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
