    Description

    Santiam Junction State Airport is a seldom used emergency/recreational airport, located just west of Santiam Pass near the junction of Highways 22 and 20 adjacent to a highway maintenance station. The cinder runway is normally firm and smooth. Fly-in camping is permitted on the south side of the runway. No services or facilities are available. The strip receives no winter maintenance and the first snowfall closes it until spring. (Nov. 1 - May 1)

    The runway is a 2800' X 150' strip. That is nearly 500' short of the standard for its 3780' elevation. The runway is surrounded by high terrain and trees; consequently, turbulence should be expected when the winds are strong. The runway slopes up to the east at about 1.5%. High terrain and +200' trees on the east end prevent takeoffs to the east and landings to the west. The approach from the west is between two cinder cones, but the obstructions on centerline are minimal.

    This airport is also sometimes used as a fire base in the summer, so there may be several helicopters operating from the strip.

      Finally a quiet night camping... at an airport - Always Ants

      Join me and the (sleeping) ants at the Toketee State Airport (or Toketee Airstrip) in the Cascades of Oregon to enjoy the first quiet night and morning camping I'd had in weeks. Everywhere I camp, whenever there are other campers, they make far more noise than I can tolerate. From constantly running generators to problem barking dogs and of course the blasting stereos with full bass and the screaming children, no campground I've stayed in with other campers has offered the outdoors/nature experience one looks for when "getting away from it all" in the woods.
      Finally, and paradoxically, I found this little campsite beside the grass airstrip, and other than gradually encroaching creeps roaming the woods, I was undisturbed and unmolested. Can't say the locals camping out nearby were friendly or welcoming; their hostile looks and increasing frequency of drive-bys as well as coming closer and closer on foot. I would not recommend staying there alone. It was, however, a stunningly quiet morning, and being so cold, was ant-free for the moment. They were everywhere though, so unfortunately at the airstrip there are, as always, ants.

      We had a few days of beautiful weather, so we headed to SE Oregon. The strip at Owyhee Reservoir has been on my list for quite awhile. It's a little rough, but the scenery can't be beat.
