About Little Buffalo Ranch
Gillette's Little Buffalo Ranch, identified as WY13, is a privately owned, non-towered airport. The field operates four turf runways: Runway NEL/SWR measures 4,700 feet long by 60 feet wide, Runway N/S measures 2,250 feet long by 60 feet wide, Runway NW/SE measures 2,000 feet long by 60 feet wide, and one more.
Operations are visual flight rules only because no instrument approach procedures have been published. The strip is non-towered with no published frequencies, so pilots keep their own separation under see-and-avoid procedures. There is no fuel service listed for the field. As a private-use facility, it is not open to transient traffic without prior permission.
The field rests at 4,919 feet above mean sea level. At that elevation, density altitude is a routine consideration in warm weather.
