Boulder Muni sits in Boulder, Colorado at 5,288 ft MSL. It has two runways. Both are 4,100 ft long. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude for runways 08/26 is 6,300 ft MSL, which is 1,012 ft AGL.

Journeys Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day. That helps on late arrivals. The runway lighting and the PAPI on runway 26 are activated by CTAF.

This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The published remarks also call out noise abatement procedures. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Glider activity is a real factor here. Powered aircraft must yield to gliders on final or go around for spacing. Midfield pattern entry from the south is for glider use only. Runway 08 has a displaced threshold. There is a tree near the approach. Departure turns below 512 ft are not authorized. Runway 26 can see severe turbulence in west wind exposure. Use the published pattern and keep a close eye out for gliders and terrain near the field.
