Airport

Located in open terrain atop the Granby Mesa, the airport is an easy-in, easy out mountain airfield as can be seen from this view from the southeast. County-plowed runway in winter. No fees.

Free Computerized Weather Information System

Due to rising terrain to the East and the highly noise-sensitive, area bearing 075 degrees from, and located only 0.5 nm East of the airport, good mountain pilots rarely, if ever, take off to the East. Study the traffic pattern chart and the noise-sensitive notice shown below.
