Narrative:

IFR air taxi flight to mountain home, ar. Because WX was clear, we planned a visual approach. About 15 mi out I spotted the runway and the first officer agreed it was our destination. About 4 mi out we canceled IFR and enter left downwind. We were both focused on maintaining sufficient clearance with high ridges on downwind. On final, I was concentrating on flying the right glide path because the runway wasn't as long as I would have liked. On short final I saw the runway numbers were faded but didn't realize it was the wrong runway until after we landed.
