Runway 15 has a 20 ft drop-off 200 ft from the threshold. Runway 08 has a 60 ft drop-off 520 ft from the runway end.

This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Density altitude can climb fast in warm weather. The field also has runway lighting details that matter after dark. Runway 01 uses MALSF lighting. Runway 01/19 has high intensity lights. Runway 15/33 has medium intensity lights. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
