    Description

    CAUTION: this airstrip is only suitable for high performance STOL aircraft with experienced mountain pilots.

    Description:
    Probably one of Idaho's most infamous backcountry airtrips, Mile Hi is a short, dog-legged, up-hill, un-maintained airstrip perched on a mountan top at 5831'.  The first 540' of the airstrip are unusable for landing, leaving a short 560' feet.  When departing, the runway is not fully visible.

    There are no ammenities, or tie-downs and the strip is unmaintained.

    For information call: 208.634.0746

    • Landing / Departing Mile Hi Airstrip - Idaho Backcountry | RANS S-7S ( mile high )

      Landing / Departing Mile Hi Airstrip - Idaho Backcountry | RANS S-7S ( mile high )

      Just a short teaser video. Hot morning during the heat wave of 2021 up on Mile High. Thanks for joining me, please subscribe for more in depth adventures to come. Hopefully this helps someone else to know what to expect. The strip is obviously pretty short, and it is much steeper than it looks in the video. Practice landing on hills if you haven't, and this won't be a big deal unless you are flying something that lands pretty fast. Avoid the strip if the wind is strong and doing funky things... density altitude can be decently high here as well if you are flying something underpowered keep that in mind. Enjoy it! I land on a lot of crazier stuff than this in the Rockies, but for an actual sanctioned, official airstrip, this is possibly the craziest one out there. Not to mention, you are a long walk to getting help if you don't have someone who can land there if something goes wrong... a risk for sure. Fly safe! -T
