    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

      Mile Hi is rated as the most difficult strip in Galen Hanselman's
      “Fly Idaho.”

      "I’m sure it has earned that ranking, but like the old Curtis Mathes TV commercial said, "it's darn well worth it." The grassy meadow at Mile Hi is just a beautiful sight. It’s green and smooth on the side of a mountain top with pine trees next to the landing area. The biggest concern to me was not the 540 foot length, nor the field elevation. It was the slope of the hillside. The first approach had me stopped well short of the top and I had to use a lot of power to taxi to the top. On the second approach I thought it better to land long and stop further up on the top. This strategy worked out well on the second flight. The King Katmai operated comfortably from Mile Hi using about half the length for landing and take off while carrying about 60 gallons of fuel and a lot of camp gear. It was incredibly relaxing just walking around and enjoying the scenery. A number of ground squirrels welcomed me by “chittering” away as I sat under a pine tree enjoying the peaceful mountain top view."
