Nice airport. Plenty runway. Easy fly in or out of. I took couple lessons there to know what was like fly in mountains. Great staff. Great instructor. Will visit again soon.

We flew into here ( 1A5 ) on a pretty day and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. It was also nice because there is a lot of terrain that must be avoided. Although we flew in IFR, I wouldn't want to fly into this tight of a valley without clear and 10. Nice FBO and friendly folks. Enterprise delivered a rental to the field.
