## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE PILOT LANDED ON AN UNMAINTAINED BACKCOUNTRY LANDING STRIP LOCATED WITHIN THE GLEN CANYON RECREATIONAL AREA IN SAN JUAN COUNTY, SOUTHEASTERN UTAH; THE AIRSTRIP IS NOT DEPICTED ON THE FAA'S DENVER SECTION AERONAUTICAL CHART, WHICH INCLUDES THE ACCIDENT SITE AREA.  DUE TO THE REMOTE LOCATION AND LACK OF FACILITIES AT THE LANDING SITE, CONDITION OF THE RUNWAY COULD NOT BE ACCURATELY DETERMINED PRIOR TO LANDING.  THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT LONG AND SUBSEQUENTLY VEERED LEFT NEAR THE END OF THE LANDING STRIP AND WENT DOWN AND EMBANKMENT.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON ITS NOSE AND RIGHT WINGTIP.  DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE RIGHT WING TIP AND TO THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.
