BLANCA is in Blanca, Colorado. The field sits at 7,720 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 6,160 ft long and surfaced with dirt. This is an uncontrolled airport with no tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, performance planning matters. The runway is soft when wet. The published remarks also call out vegetation along both sides of the runway, plus dirt windrows on both sides for the full length. Runway 03 has several obstacles near the departure end. Runway 21 has a hangar and a road near the threshold area. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Vehicle access is unrestricted.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go. The remarks also note intensive USAF student training in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo area. Expect busy training traffic in the region. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257.
