Silver West Airport sits near Westcliffe, Colorado. The field elevation is 8,290 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 6,954 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. On the field, Silver West Airport carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours by self-service. The airport is high enough that density altitude will matter on warm days. Plan performance carefully. Terrain and obstructions are part of the picture here. The runway has a highway and fence west of the centerline for much of its length. There is also terrain near the threshold of runway 31, plus a published obstruction near runway 13.
Expect wildlife too. Deer and elk are reported in the area. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC. If you are new to the field, brief the runway environment before arrival and give yourself margin on climb and landing performance.
