Stevens Field sits in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The field elevation is 7,663.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 8,100 ft of asphalt, which gives you solid length for the altitude. Performance planning still matters here.

This is an uncontrolled airport. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published. The Chart Supplement remarks also note that clearance delivery goes through Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center at 303-651-4257. Traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL for propeller aircraft. That is 8,663.3 ft MSL. Jet traffic uses 1,500 ft AGL.

Blackhawk Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport also has a few operational items worth knowing before you arrive. Taxiway B is closed to aircraft 12,500 lb and over. Balloon operations are in the vicinity. Wildlife is also on and near the airport. Runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are published for runways 01 and 19. At this elevation, expect high-density-altitude performance to be a real factor, especially in warm weather.
