This weekend, we’re braving the wild country of Idaho! Departing from Challis, say goodbye to roads as we wind through the unforgiving badland canyons of eastern Idaho. Much of the route runs through the River of No Return wilderness, the largest US national wilderness outside of Alaska. The river gets its name from the wild whitewater experience. The airstrips on the route pre-existed the declaration of the wilderness area (no new strips are permitted). We’ll finish up at the tarmac runway of U60 Big Creek.
12 landings in total, 145nm. The highest point we’ll pass over is around 8,000 feet. The shortest runway is 874 feet (KMCG).
