Salida/Harriett Alexander Field sits in Salida, Colorado. The field elevation is 7,523 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 7,351 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly.
Harriet Alexander Field is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available with credit card. The airport is a high-elevation mountain field, so performance planning matters. Expect density altitude to be a real factor, especially on warm days. The published remarks also call out obstacle and wind issues. Runway 24 is the recommended landing runway when weather and traffic allow. Runway 06 is recommended for departure when weather and traffic allow. Be alert for downdrafts on runway 24 in high wind conditions. The field also notes nearby powerline and smokestack obstacles on the runway ends, so a current briefing before arrival is smart.
