Nice little airport set up on a small plateau next to town. Surrounded by 4,000'+ terrain. Mountain flying experience suggested. In the summer, because of its position between the surrounding mountains, is subject to severe turbulence and downdrafts, especially on final for 27. Afternoons are usually the worst.
A standard pattern will work for approaches to Runway 27, but you'll need to be creative to approach Runway 09 because of surrounding terrain.
Runway 27 is preferred landing and departing runway. Runway 27 slopes downhill significantly. Trees on approach to Runway 27. There is a white concrete patch about 800 feet down Runway 27. If not touched down by this point, suggest going around. Fly departures off of Runway 27 by following the river canyon to the northwest if your aircraft lacks climb performance.
No courtesy car or other services. Nearby houses may have phone in case of emergency. A fairly long walk (2 mi) to town, which is about 500' below the airport. An easy walk down, not so easy coming back up.
Camping may be possible near the tiedown area (unverified).
Signficant firefighting activity most summers. Check NOTAMs to ensure airport is open.
