Yampa Valley Airport is in Hayden, Colorado. The field elevation is 6,606.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 10,000 ft long, so there is plenty of pavement for most general aviation traffic. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.
The published ILS is on runway 10. Runway 10 also has a PAPI. Runway 10 has MALSR lighting. Runway 28 has runway end identifier lights. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or airport operator says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 7,606.3 ft MSL.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (970) 276-3743 for current ramp and service details. The remarks also call for UNICOM contact before all takeoffs and landings between 0600 and 2000 for PAEW advisories. Runway 28 departures need an early right or left turn as soon as safety permits to avoid Hayden and follow the noise abatement guidance. This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Winter conditions can be severe from October through April. Check NOTAMs and current field status before you go. Large flocks of sandhill cranes are also a seasonal factor.
