Location: La Garita Creek Ranch (Del Norte, CO)
Date: June 21-23 (Main event & Dinner is Saturday June 22nd)

Come join us for the grand opening of the La Garita Creek Ranch Airstrip in South Central Colorado. Over the last few months, a group of pilots have been working hand-in-hand with the ranch manager at the La Garita Creek Ranch (a former guest ranch) to open the property up for recreational use. The location is impressive, about 10 miles North of Del Norte, CO. The La Garita Creek runs through the property providing for lots of shade trees and fishing. Overnight guests can camp in a tent or stay in one of the many cabins (reasonable rates). The ranch manager is very excited to host a fly-in and see what people think of the airstrip and ranch.

Airfield Details: This is a strip where good pilot skills and mountain experience is required. 3400ft runway (2600ft improved, 800ft natural rough grass), 8050 ft MSL (high DA!), lots of parking, room for tents, firepit, a lodge, and a half dozen cabins. Preferred landing is to the West and takeoff to the East.

For those who fly-in early, a dinner will be hosted at the La Garita Trading Post Restaurant on Friday night (21st) around 6-8p. The main BBQ style dinner will be available on Saturday (register to reserve a plate) Lots of nearby recreational opportunities at Penitente Canyon and the surrounding area. Additional day flights to the Hooper Hot Springs Airstrip, Sand Dunes NP, and Quarter Circle Circle Ranch airstrip are possible.
