Bear Lake County Airport is in Paris, Idaho. The field elevation is 5,932.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 5,728 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, plan on 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 6,933 ft MSL. The airport sits in mountain country, so expect terrain to matter on arrival, departure and when judging visual descent. PAPI on runway 10 is noted as unusable beyond 8 NM from the threshold because of the terrain. Runway end identifier lights and medium intensity runway lights are on runways 10 and 28. They are controlled by CTAF.

Bear Lake County Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. The field also notes 24-hour self-serve fuel. The airport manager phone number is available 24 hours if you need local coordination. One operational point to plan for is that there is no snow removal on runway 16/34. Birds are also reported on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC before departure.
