Location
Salmon, United States
Lewis and Clark Airstrip (8ID8) is a small, privately owned general aviation airstrip located near Salmon, Idaho, in the rugged Lemhi County region of central Idaho. It serves as a backcountry access point in an area historically associated with the Lewis and Clark Expedition's passage through the Rocky Mountains.
The airstrip primarily supports private pilots, outfitters, and recreational users accessing the surrounding wilderness areas, including proximity to the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness. It is not served by commercial airlines and has no scheduled passenger service.
The facility is typical of Idaho's many backcountry strips, featuring a single unpaved or gravel runway suited to light, single-engine aircraft. Pilots operating in this region must be experienced in mountain flying due to density altitude, terrain, and variable weather conditions.
