Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in mountain country. Mountains are in all quadrants. Density altitude can be a real factor here because of the elevation. Plan performance with that in mind.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need local services. Published remarks call out a departure to the northeast to avoid trailers and homes. They also say to climb to more than 200 ft AGL on the right centerline before turning. Large rocks are close to the runway end. Glider activity and wildlife are present on and near the airport. The manager can be reached at 719-658-2600.
