Can anybody offer insight into flying into Granby, CO in the summer?

Well, the passes from the west are over 10,000 ft, from the east you are looking at over 13,000. While it might be ok for RV-10, it violates my personal high altitude airport general rule of runway length equals elevation or better(think twice and calculate carefully if that condition isn't met). I've been in and out of Steamboat Springs and Aspen, but not Granby.

My Dad lives in Colorado and does not fly his 182 into Granby for reasons similar to Kelly's. As an alternative, Kremmling Colorado just to the west of there offers more margin and although the approach is kind of around a hill it's not too bad.

It's high but I can't imagine the 10 having a problem getting out of a 5000 foot runway even at 8200 feet. The hottest recorded temp was 89 f in July 2002. Sounds like taking off to the east is tougher. I would try it in the summer but would need to look into it more for max takeoff weight.
