✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Miley Memorial Field (BPI/KBPI) is a public general-aviation airport serving Big Piney and Sublette County in southwest Wyoming. Located in the Green River Valley at roughly 6,995 feet MSL, it supports private, charter, and energy-industry aircraft with a paved primary runway and a turf crosswind runway. There is no scheduled commercial airline service, so the field primarily serves local and transient general aviation.
💡 Local Tip
High density altitude is the main local hazard: on warm summer afternoons, density altitude can approach or exceed 10,000 feet, so plan for longer takeoff rolls and reduced climb rates. Also check the turf runway 4/22 for soft or muddy conditions after rain or snowmelt.
🚖 Getting There
Ground transportation is limited: arrange a rental car or hotel shuttle in advance, as rideshare and taxi service are not reliably available. US Highway 189 passes through Big Piney, linking the airport area to Pinedale to the north and Kemmerer to the south. If you fly in privately, confirm parking and fuel hours before arrival, especially outside normal business hours.
