If you want true, scary, thrilling and dangerous mountain flying, the
wilderness airstrips in Idaho await you.

Those are the kinds of canyons that "canyon turns" were made for.

Get some
local instruction, and you will be flying patterns down in the bottom
of 4000' deep canyons landing on bumpy, short grass fields. Yikes!
Takeoffs are just as exciting.

Definitely get some instruction. Last year a guy killed his family
by trying to turn around in a canyon after departing a popular Idaho
strip. He started the turn with a high rate of speed, from the
middle(!) of the canyon. Ended up planting his Bo into the canyon
wall. A little education in the proper execution of a turn in a
canyon would have made all the difference.
