Marble Creek Airport (ID8) is near Challis, Idaho. The field elevation is 4,685 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 1,160 ft long and surfaced with dirt-turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a canyon airport with timbered high mountain terrain in all quadrants. The runway is short. Terrain and trees are in the approach area at both ends. The first 400 ft at the northeast end of the runway is soft sand. Wildlife and livestock may be on or near the runway.
High density altitude is a real factor here. Summer departures and arrivals are better planned for early morning or late evening. The airport is recommended for experienced backcountry pilots with well-equipped aircraft. Winter maintenance is not available. There are no on-field FBOs listed. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 1-801-320-2568.
