Short and a hill is at one end of the strip. You
won't find anything official anywhere. If you
want to find out about boondock runways in the
west checkout alta-research web site which has
books for sale with all the hidden runways and
such in the west.

Runway is gravel and on a slope and only experienced gravel pilots should land IMHO but
lots do! Remember it gets hot in the afternoon
and sometimes the runway is not long enough if
you are heavy. Not a good thing. Seriously check
it out before trying unless you know what you are
doing. Windsock and tie downs at north end of runway.

Disclaimer: The guy that wrote these books is my
friend and long term Saline guy and first rate
pilot
