Areas with high density of bush and small airports?

[carbonbasedlifeform 179]

For some reason the area south of Portland, Oregon has an incredible density of airports. You can spend an hour hopping around these small strips without re-visiting any. I know there are places like Alaska and the Rockies with lots of strips, but they're not always as close to each other.

Anyone know of any areas like the area south of Portland?

I don't have a suggestion, but I'm on the lookout for this exact thing, so I will take your suggestion and try out the Oregon area!

Idaho is full of real life bush strips,  many of which are maintained by the state.  https://idahoaviation.com/resources/idaho-airstrip-network/

If you like it there's a free OrbX strip on their site.

Try flying out of Redding, CA and head west towards the coast.

Offtopic: for hunting, fishing, small isolated mountain towns, Idaho rules!

Ontopic: and many of those isolated towns have airstrips

Free or the premium versions of 3 Idaho bush trips.

There is also a lot of them dotted across Appalachia and the Eastern US (KY - TN - WV - NC, etc...), as well as Colorado has a few. Many of the ones in the Eastern US tend to be slightly larger than a plain old grass strip though, but there are a lot of hops none-the-less.
