The approach into Smiley Creek Airport (U87) is pure Idaho magic—wide open skies, alpine valleys, and dramatic peaks in every direction. Expect a high-elevation mountain airport surrounded by rugged terrain, so plan your arrival with density altitude in mind, keep your energy management tight, and enjoy one of the most scenic arrivals in the West. Once you roll to a stop… you’re already home—this stay is immediately next to the runway, making it a true land-and-walk-over experience 🛬➡️🏕️.
🌄 360° Mountain Views in the Heart of the Sawtooths
Welcome to what many pilots call the most beautiful valley in all of Idaho. You’re perfectly positioned between Stanley and Ketchum, surrounded by postcard-worthy peaks, endless hiking, and crystal-clear alpine lakes. Everywhere you look is a 360° mountain panorama that never gets old 🏔️✨.
🏕️ Your Spacious Mountain Yurt Retreat
This roomy yurt comfortably sleeps a family of four with a queen bed plus a bunk bed, making it ideal for couples, small families, or pilot buddies on a cross-country adventure. A large shared bathhouse is located directly next door, and the central courtyard is a wonderful place to relax, take in the views, and watch the mountain town come to life 🌲☀️.
🚶 Walk to Adventure, Fly to Everything
From your doorstep, the Sawtooths invite you to explore. Our favorite nearby spots include Redfish Lake, famous for its jaw-dropping Sawtooth backdrop 🚣♂️🏔️, Pettit Lake for its peaceful beauty just minutes away, and Alturas Lake, sitting slightly higher in elevation and offering sweeping alpine views (yes, even higher than Pettit 😉). Peaks, trails, fishing, paddling, and photography opportunities are everywhere you turn.
