It never ceases to amaze me how many pilots fly into Idaho from
California and attempt to land at a backcountry strip without any
experience. We typically have at least 1 fatal a year because of
this.

There is an outfit in McCall that offers backcountry flight
instruction with experience instructors. If you want to land in the
Idaho backcountry, please get a backcountry orientation and checkout
flight with an experienced instructor first. Your life could depend
on it.
