During the pilot's third landing attempt, the aircraft departed the right side of the runway. The right wheel exited the pavement, and he was unable to return completely back onto the runway. The airplane continued to the right, and the aircraft traveled at a high speed through sagebrush. In attempting to maneuver the aircraft back onto the runway, the airplane skidded sideways towards the west at a 90 degree angle from the runway. The aircraft tilted onto its left side, bounced back, and came to rest in an upright position. During landing, the aircraft's indicated airspeed was 60 knots, and the ground speed was approximately 85 knots. Density altitude at the time of the accident was calculated to be 9,422 feet.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft during landing roll. A factor was the high density altitude and the high vegetation (sagebrush).
