    Description

    The Root Ranch is located 48 miles west of Salmon, Idaho in the heart of the Frank Church Wilderness Area, in a high meadow on Whimstick Creek at an elevation of 5,600 feet. It has it's own 2,100 foot airstrip*, a small lodge, four bunkhouse-style cabins and a dining room.

    The cabins have beds with sheet-covered mattresses. You bring your own sleeping bag. Hot showers are located in the main lodge and family-style meals are served.

    For recreation there is fishing, hiking, wildlife observation and photography. Sitting on the deck of the lodge and watching the deer, elk and moose graze in the meadow is a popular pastime.

    The airstrip at the Root Ranch are private airstrips thus, for non members, permission is required prior to landing. Permission may be obtained by calling the ranch office at (208) 756-6295. These are back country mountain airstrips so mountain flying experience is a pre-requisite for landing.

      Approach and landing at Flying B Ranch airstrip - PRIVATE (must call/email ahead) - in the Idaho backcountry with my Super Stinson 108-2.

      This is a serene place that offers wonderful hospitality, food, and lodging. Hazards including density altitude, and valley / mountain weather. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side. They offer a terrific breakfast for those who fly in. If you get a chance to go to the B, take it.

      Also, please support the IAF and the RAF, as they aid in keeping these beautiful places open to backcountry pilots.

      If you enjoy my clips, please let me know. Thanks

      G&S landing at a private ranch, Chamberlain, ID

      G&S Aviation delivers freight to a Private Ranch in Chamberlain Basin, ID. This airport , at 5,500 ft MSL, is only 1,000 long before an unusable dog leg occurs. Essentially, the dog leg gives you a survivable overrun, and that's all - if you aren't slowed down. This Ranch isn't open to public traffic, so please respect their property rights.

      What do you think this persistent dog wants?
      Of course, it wants to click on the bell not to miss the new video from MindWarehouse! Well done, buddy. Today, you’ll see a poodle who goes shopping like a human, an otter who loves massage, a car being shredded to pieces - you would not believe all these stories unless you saw them with your own eyes. So why wait?
