Approach and Landing at Big Creek (U60) in June in a Cessna 182. There are several ways to approach this landing, and since it was my first time we took the extended route flying through the bottom of the mountain for a nice long approach.

As always use lots of caution and careful planning when going into new mountainous airstrips.
