    Description

    One-way strip deep in the Main Salmon Canyon.  Mackay Bar (private but open) 2 miles downriver.  Non-standard pattern.  Final is flown river left, with the runway out of sight until short final.  Beware of wheel traffic using the runway. 

     Good camp spots south of the strip, both at the East end and most of the way to the West end.  Water from nearby creeks or river.
