Murrow Field on the Divide 2025 Fly-in Final Information!
Friday, Saturday, Sunday June 20 - 22, 2025
Rain dates the following weekend.
Greetings!
Once again folks from many areas will gather in the mountains of Northern New Mexico to picnic, camp, hike, share tall tales, and weather permitting, enjoy an evening campfire!
We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful adventure with friends and family. Whether you can attend just for the Saturday burrito breakfast or arrive and hike, bike, picnic, or camp over for that and at the other times, we know you will enjoy flying or driving into this beautiful mountain environment and visit with so many old and new friends. If you enjoy nature photography you will find plenty of scenery and creatures to fill your camera, too!
Family, friends, airplanes, and camping - who could want more!
The ranch is right on the Continental Divide at 7,500 feet above sea level and features a central meadow bracketed to the North and South by Ponderosa, Pinion, and Juniper forests and rimrock cliffs. There are a number of ancient sites from the time of the Gallina people. The ranch adjoins the Santa Fe National Forest to the East, where one can enjoy extended bike and hiking opportunities. The Nogales Cliff House is in the Forest 10 miles down Forest Road 313, followed by a nice hike up a canyon wall to the site.

Fly-In dates are Friday 10 AM June 20 through Monday Morning June 23. Rain dates will be the following weekend, Friday through Sunday. People are welcome to drive in, too, and camp in tents and RV’s.
Folks who have studied and agreed with the information in our Briefing and completed the full Registration procedure are welcome to attend at any time from Friday 10 AM through Monday morning, and may camp by their planes and in the grass and trees adjacent to the airstrip. We will probably ask Friday morning attendees to help with the setup (your option). Some helpers might be able to come on Thursday too.
The main event is the free New Mexico Burrito Breakfast on Saturday morning, with coffee, rolls, cereal, etc. at 8 am, and burritos, etc. by 9 am. Other meals are on your own via picnics or camping, including potlucks by arrangements with others.
The Briefing provides essential airstrip and procedures information plus a lot more information about the event itself. The airstrip is somewhat rough grass and dirt, 4,000 feet long but quite narrow, with berms along the edges, so aircraft should be appropriate for backcountry type conditions, and pilots should be experienced and proficient and always be able to keep their planes on the center of the strip during landing, taxi, and takeoff. Details are in the Briefing.
The Briefing and Registration are required. No one has Permission to land or operate on the airfield and/or attend any events on the ranch unless they have read the Briefing and agree with all its conditions and requirements, and in the case of fly-ins has completed the Registration process.
First download, review, and accept the Murrow Field Fly-in Briefing pdf document, then you can use the Registration Link to access and complete the Registration Form. You can amend your registration form anytime later.
