Online Reviews Summary

Traveler experiences at Pittsburg Landing Airport (US-4059), more accurately identified as Pittsburg Airstrip (O29) in Imnaha, Oregon, primarily revolve around backcountry flying in the rugged and scenic Hells Canyon. Overall sentiment among pilots is positive, appreciating the unique wilderness experience and the challenge it presents. It's not a traditional commercial airport, but rather a remote airstrip catering to adventurous pilots seeking a connection with nature.

What Travelers Love

Stunning Backcountry Scenery: Pilots consistently praise the beautiful views and the immersive wilderness experience of landing in Hells Canyon on the Snake River.
Well-Maintained Airstrip: Pittsburg Airstrip is frequently reported as being in great shape, with recent efforts by groups like the RAF (Recreational Aviation Foundation) helping to maintain its condition.
Primitive Camping Opportunities: Primitive camping is permitted directly at the airstrip, and potable water is often available (though not in winter), allowing for extended stays in the wilderness.
Access to Basic Amenities (Across River): While the airstrip itself is primitive, the nearby Pittsburg Landing boat launch across the Snake River offers 28 campsites, toilets, potable water, tables, and fire pits, which can be accessed by boat.

Common Complaints

Lack of Traditional Facilities: Travelers should not expect typical airport terminal facilities, amenities, or services. Toilet facilities are only available if the USFS is in residence.
Challenging Landing Conditions: Pilots advise caution, suggesting to walk the strip before landing to check for potential rocks. The runway can also be downhill in one direction, contributing to challenging approaches and landings.
Wildlife Hazards: There is a need to watch out for animals on the strip and rattlesnakes in the surrounding areas.
River Crossing Required for Main Amenities: Accessing the more developed facilities at Pittsburg Landing boat launch requires crossing the Snake River, which is only feasible with a boat.

Pittsburg Landing Airstrip offers an unparalleled experience for backcountry pilots drawn to the raw beauty and challenge of Hells Canyon. While lacking conventional airport services, its well-regarded airstrip and opportunities for primitive camping make it a highly desirable destination for those prepared for a truly rustic adventure.
