This is a mountain area airport with a high field elevation. Expect density altitude to matter, especially on warm days. The published remarks also call out deer on and near the runway, especially at night. Noise abatement is specific here. No midfield departures. No turns west or north before 3,400 ft MSL or clear of the noise sensitive area. After takeoff from runway 23, make a 10 degree left turn at the end of the runway to avoid residential areas. Trees are also published north of the runway. Check your departure path and climb performance before you go.
