Came in for elk hunting from Texas. Runway is in good condition and facilities are good. Airport is unattended, and fuel pump works very well for self serve. Phone numbers are posted, and airport manager "Gary" is more than willing to help with you're questions. AWOS provides info for high density altitudes, which were over 8000' on our trip.

This was the perfect fuel stop. Nice facilities and all equipment worked as advertised. A large herd of antelope on and near the runway on landing behaved well and vacated the area as I approached. For that reason I probably wouldn't hesitate to land here in the dark.

I was hesitant to land at Spanish Peaks because the runway is described as in "fair condition". Actually, it was in what I would call "good condition". The SS 100 LL was by far the cheapest I found on my trip through CO and UT. There's not what I would call an FBO. Instead, it's a small building with some furniture and a clean bathroom, but I didn't see any people or vending machines. All in all, a nice, uncrowded airport with great fuel prices.

Great prices, nice bathrooms, good phone reception and a quick in-and-out as already mentioned. BUT ... Watch for wildlife on the runway. Just as I lifted off a couple antelope crossed the runway ahead of me (east end.) It was a bit unnerving, but kind of neat to see, too.

I made it a point to stop at Spanish Peaks AP/Huerfano Co on my way home for two reasons. #1 Gary Hanish was nice enough to return my calls previous to my recent trip to No. Iowa and report on changes in fuel prices. Don't you hate it when it is higher than reported! 2nd...Secondly the prices (3.40/gl 100LL) were very competitive even lower than most. I had trouble reading the CC machine window but went through the usual routine and got fuel just fine. This is an easy in and out AP. Actually quite Fun!!! A Strong X-wind N or S would make this challenging. (50 ft.) wide but I had no problem with my twin Cessna in a summer mid-morning landing and take off.............Be sure and check density altitude.... Thanks Huerfano Co., and Gary Hanish especially!!! The AWOS at 120.6 is a good addition and was reporting accurately when I landed as best I could tell. Cheers

4V1 had the lowest 100LL price in Colorado on the day of my first visit in Oct. 2007. And if you fly an old twin like I do, that matters a lot. No other traffic, approaches are easy and open; runway is adequately long and well maintained. Self-serve pump was simple to figure out, although the receipt printer needed a ribbon change. Only complaint was that there weren't any chocks. Didn't venture inside to see what the rest of the facilities were like, but will next time.

Spanish Peaks Airport is a neat place to visit. Some friends and I flew down there for a couple of days to hike Mt. Lindsey (a 14er), used their courtesy car and camped out there on the airport. It's not big and it's nothing fancy but their facilities are decent. If you need a fuel stop (100LL) or a lunch stop (There is a great BBQ place just outside of Walsenburg) or just a place to visit, 4V1 is a great place. Runway 08-26 is in good condition with just a few bumps here and there. Fuel is good. Has good cell reception.
 
From David Taylor on 28-Jun-2007
Mostly unattended airport, it seems. Great fuel price and they have a car available for town trips. It did break down on us, but they sent a county guy out to get er going again, still not sure what the deal was, it wasn't out of gas after all. Kinda expect such things at a struggling rural airport, and have to give them credit.
