🇺🇸 Earthquake Valley Glider Landing Zone

Limited public information is available regarding a specifically designated "Earthquake Valley Glider Landing Zone (US-6687)" in Julian, California.

While Earthquake Valley is a recognized desert valley east of Julian, California, containing parts of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, there is no official record or widespread information about an airfield or glider landing zone with the exact name "Earthquake Valley Glider Landing Zone" and the identifier "US-6687". The identifier "US-6687" does not conform to standard FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) or ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) airport identification formats.

Historical records mention the existence of private airstrips in the vicinity of Shelter Valley, which is located within Earthquake Valley, southeast of Julian. For instance, in 1988, two private facilities known as "Cordell Airstrips" were noted along County Road S-2 in Shelter Valley, with runways of approximately 1,900 feet and 2,500 feet respectively. These would be considered private, personal-use airstrips rather than commercial facilities.

The broader San Diego County area, where Julian is located, does have several known gliderports and hang gliding/paragliding sites, such as Warner Springs Gliderport (FAA LID: CL35) and Torrey Pines Gliderport (FAA LID: CA84), but these are distinct facilities with different names and identifiers.

Given the lack of specific details and official listings for "Earthquake Valley Glider Landing Zone (US-6687)", it is likely a small, private, or informal landing area, or the provided identifier is not a standard aviation code.
