FURNACE CREEK (L06)

Experience a unique landing in a desert oasis

Elevate your logbook with a descent into Furnace Creek Airport (L06), a true bucket-list destination tucked 210 feet below sea level. This isn't just a flight; it’s an arrival into the rugged heart of Death Valley, where the shimmer of the Mojave meets the stark beauty of the Funeral Mountains. After securing your aircraft in the quiet solitude of the desert, you're just a short walk or shuttle ride away from the historic Furnace Creek Inn, where palm-fringed oases and spring-fed pools offer a lush contrast to the salt-crusted valley floor. Whether you’re stopping in for a round of world-class golf at the world’s lowest course or embarking on a hike through the painted canyons, L06 offers pilots a rare opportunity to touch down in a landscape that feels like another planet.
