The strip is in a deep canyon, so shadows also pose a hazard late in the afternoon. There are ditches on both sides in the tall grass. Camping is allowed on the field, but the horses and mules are turned out to graze at night, and are prone to rub on your airplane. The night we stayed there, the caretaker strung poles with simulated electric wire around our planes and tents to keep the horses and mules at bay. We camped at the south end.
Water is available from a hose by the bunkhouse at the north end.
There is trout fishing in the river, and in a small lake or pond about a twenty minute hike south of the field. The field lies in a natural meadow. Snow runoff ran down the strip and damaged it a couple of years ago. It has been repaired by volunteers. The USFS has also supplied horse drawn mowers to mow the grass.
