Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which works out to 1,156 ft MSL. The airport is in a canyon. High mountains and trees surround the field. Mountain flying experience is strongly recommended. That matters here more than at a flat-field stop. The published remarks also call out brush and trees near the primary surface. Runway 06 has additional obstacle notes near the approach path. Runway 24 does too. Surface conditions are not reported, so plan conservatively and get current local information before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service status. No night operation is authorized. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a short-field mountain airport with limited published approach support and terrain close in on both sides.
