There is also a mountain 1.4 miles northeast of the field. The Chart Supplement says to reduce slope to 12 to 1 on that side. A weather camera is available online for a current look before departure.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For a first visit, treat this as a short gravel strip with terrain nearby and changing wind. That means a careful approach, a good surface check and extra attention to climb performance after takeoff.
