Once landed you can walk up to the town centre - great Bakeries etc. and Mount Beauty is a nice town especially on a blue sky day!

Sealed strip. Very scenic flight through the valley to get there. The town is real close nested at the foothills of the mountains. It is also a dead end so a plane that has good turning and climbing capability is a bonus to have in case of a go-around. Worth a daytrip or a overnight stay if you are into the tranquillity thing. I get the feeling that it is best to go there during summer though. I could not find any Avgas there.

YMBT is actually 1100' AMSL. Refer ERSA, plus I've landed there.
