About Morgan Ranch Airport
Morgan Ranch Airport (FAA identifier 02ID) is a privately owned mountain airstrip located about 32 miles east of Cascade in Valley County, Idaho. Nestled within the rugged mountains of central Idaho, the airport sits at an elevation of approximately 5,634 feet and features a 2,000-foot by 100-foot turf runway. Permission is required before landing, and there are no public airport services available.
The airport lies within a region known for its spectacular mountain scenery, vast forests, and abundant outdoor recreation. Surrounded by the Boise National Forest, the area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, camping, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, wildlife photography, and exploring Idaho’s extensive network of backcountry roads and trails.
Flying into Morgan Ranch requires careful planning. The combination of high elevation, mountain terrain, changing winds, and rapidly shifting weather conditions makes current information especially valuable. During the summer, density altitude can significantly affect aircraft performance, while winter brings snow and freezing temperatures that may make the turf runway unusable. The airport is unattended, and pilots should always evaluate conditions before departure.
Unlike airports serving cities or commercial traffic, Morgan Ranch Airport exists primarily to support private aviation and access to Idaho’s mountain backcountry. Its peaceful setting and remote location make it a destination for pilots seeking solitude and outstanding scenery rather than busy airport operations.
The live webcam provides a valuable planning resource by allowing pilots and visitors to check current runway conditions, mountain visibility, cloud cover, and seasonal weather before making the trip into this beautiful but demanding part of central Idaho.
