Yellowstone Airport (8M3) sits in West Yellowstone, Montana. The field elevation is 6,534 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts, so verify the current runway layout before planning a landing. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For a light piston, use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard assumption until you confirm the current Chart Supplement. At this elevation, performance planning matters. Expect high-density-altitude effects, especially on warm days. The airport is in a mountain area. Terrain and climb performance deserve extra attention on departure.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival to confirm fuel, parking and any local handling details. The published remarks also note that no docking location is available. If you need current noise, runway, or surface information, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
