Holyoke Airport sits in Holyoke, Colorado. Field elevation is 3,729.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 5,000 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 4,729.7 ft MSL. The field is in eastern Colorado, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.

Holyoke Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call the field directly at (970) 854-2266 for current fuel and service details. Published remarks note geese on and near the runway, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and final. Runway 14 and 32 have REIL lighting. Medium-intensity runway lighting is controlled by CTAF. PAPI for both runway ends is on continuously. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257. The airport existed before 1959, so expect a small-town field with basic services and local traffic habits.
