The closest major airport is in Rapid City, SD. If you notify one of the Project Directors with date, time, and flight information, then arrangements can be made to pick you up at the Rapid City airport, which is about 2.5 hours (or 120 miles) from Camp Cretaceous.
Arrangements can also be made to take you to this airport.
Keep in mind that a trip to the airport and return involves about 5 hours for the driver. We are happy to do this, but it would be helpful if airport runs can be combined for efficiency.
In addition:
-
We would prefer not to make an airport trip on Saturday (Sabbath).
-
Departures before 9:00 am Rapid City time (MDT) may be difficult to set up—a 9:00 am departure means leaving Camp Cretaceous by 6:00 am (CDT) to get you to the airport 1.5 hours before departure.
-
Departures on the last day, Tuesday, should be scheduled in the mid to late afternoon.

As you plan your air trip, please check the current schedule and/or contact the Project Directors. They would know if someone else is flying in or out near the time you are planning. It may not be possible to adjust your arrival and departure times and dates (without a significant increase in cost), but it would be appreciated if a simple change could allow two or more participants to make the same trip to or from the airport.
