Monte Vista Muni sits in Monte Vista, Colorado. The field elevation is 7,611.2 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 5,902 ft asphalt. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Alpine Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. Call (719) 852-3241 for current service details. Published remarks also note medium intensity lights and PAPI on runways 02 and 20. Those lights operate on CTAF. After-hours service is handled by the airport manager.
This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air and longer takeoff rolls than you would see at lower fields. The published remarks also call out soft shoulders on runway 02/20. Runway 10/28 has a dirt windrow and vegetation through the runway. Runway 16/34 has dirt windrows and heavier vegetation along the edges. There are also several nearby obstructions. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. That is the best source for any field condition changes, lighting notes, or operational restrictions.
