Tips for 50 min Connections
Arrive with plenty of buffer since there are only a few flights per day and missing one can mean a long wait for the next.
Security is quick and rarely crowded, so you won't need extra time for screening itself.
Since PIH mainly connects to Salt Lake City, most 'connections' actually happen at SLC, not here.
There is no need to worry about long terminal walks—everything is within a couple minutes of the single gate area.
Check flight schedules carefully, as PIH has limited daily departures and thin schedule redundancy.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal with a single gate hold area, so there is no real transit system to speak of—passengers simply walk from check-in to the gate. There is no separate international zone, so no re-screening between areas is needed.
