Hello, everyone I am wanting to take a flight from "COE" Coeur D'Alene, ID to "GTF" Great Falls, MT I was wanting to do this in my Cessna 150 Any advice or helpful hints from some one thats done the trip over the Rockies in a 150 I know I will have to be at really high altitudes just wondering on how well the 150 will perform. The direct route is never more than 30 nm from an airport and highest terrain is about 9200 ft and you could probably find a route that you never need to fly above 85-9500 ft (I don't have the sectional handy, just my IFR charts). I agree with the other posters -- a mountain flying course or at the very least, a mountain flying checkout with an experienced CFI.
