💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors check winds before descending into the Bear Creek Valley; afternoon thermals and mountain-wave gusts can make Runway 12/30 challenging, especially on hot summer days.
🚖 Getting There
Arrange a rental car, taxi, or rideshare in advance because AHM has no on-site rental car desks or scheduled ground transport. Downtown Ashland is a short drive away, and Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR) is about 20 miles north via I-5. RVTD buses serve central Ashland, but you may need a short walk or ride to reach the nearest stop.
