Pattern altitude is not published. Use 8,850 ft MSL as the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern reference for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The runway is gravel-dirt. The published remarks also note asphalt pads at the runway numbers. The surface is soft when wet. Wildlife is on and near the airport. Prairie dog holes are reported near the runway 29 end. There are also terrain and ditch notes near the threshold. That makes a careful low approach and landing rollout important here.

This is a high-elevation airport in mountain country. Performance planning matters. Check density altitude, runway condition and winds before you go. If you need current noise or operating restrictions, verify them in the current FAA Chart Supplement or with the airport operator before departure.
