This is a high-elevation mountain airport. Expect performance to matter. The published remarks call out trees that penetrate the transitional surfaces east and west of the runway.

The airport operator limits runway use to 4,800 pounds single wheel and 9,600 pounds dual wheel. There is no snow removal. The airport is closed when snow is on the runway.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or services. For clearance delivery, contact Oakland ARTCC. First-time pilots should plan for mountain weather, density altitude and runway surface conditions before committing to the landing.
