• No Winter Maintenance: The airport receives no winter maintenance, making it unsuitable for use during colder months.

• Challenging Runway Conditions: The turf/dirt runway is described as being in fair condition, but the first 800-1000 feet of Runway 34 may be soft and soggy due to late snowmelt until June each year.
• Obstructions and Terrain: The airport is located in a high mountain valley surrounded by high terrain, with trees present on both sides of the runway edges. There is also no line of sight between the runway ends.
• Wildlife and Vehicle Traffic: Pilots should be aware of wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport, as well as vehicle traffic on and in the vicinity of the airport.

Landmark US Forest Service Airport (0U0) is recommended exclusively for experienced general aviation pilots prepared for a self-sufficient and austere backcountry flying environment. It lacks all standard commercial airport amenities, security, and staffing, demanding thorough pre-flight planning and caution from its users.
