Hoodoo Meadows is in Salmon, Idaho. The field elevation is 8,262 ft MSL. It has one runway. The listed runway is 03/21 at 2,200 ft, with actual runway dimensions published as 1,900 ft by 55 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. This is a high mountain valley field surrounded by timbered peaks. Density altitude is a real factor here. Performance planning matters before you launch.
The runway surface is dirt and gravel. Published remarks call out a soft spot just past midfield on the right side of runway 3. Stumps are also reported at both runway ends. Trees are charted near runway 03. The field is used only by mountain proficient pilots. There is no winter maintenance. The remarks also say to overfly the field fast and confirm the runway is clear of wildlife before landing. Landing is required on runway 3 and takeoff on runway 21 if weather allows. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
