Operated by Garfield County, the Bryce Canyon Airport covers 215 acres and offers one asphalt-paved runway, 7,400 feet long and 75 feet wide. The runway daily caters to small propeller-powered planes, mainly aircraft associated with Bryce Canyon Airlines, charters, and private aircraft. The runway can also accommodate large airliners in emergencies.
Its unique hangar sets Bryce Canyon Airport apart from other small airports. Built by the Works Progress Administration in 1936, the hangar resembles a large log barn. Fashioned from local Ponderosa Pine, it adapted old-fashioned construction techniques to accommodate new transportation technology. The distinctive hangar is part of why the Bryce Canyon Airport found its way onto the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. When built, Garfield County’s aim for the airport was to attract tourists to Bryce Canyon National Park. From its inception, it has done just that.
