Yampa Valley Airport (IATA: HDN, ICAO: KHDN, FAA LID: HDN), also known as Yampa Valley Regional Airport, is a public airport located east of Hayden and approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of Steamboat Springs in Routt County, Colorado, USA. The airport covers 671 acres (272 ha) and has one runway. It supports the only scheduled airline passenger services to northwest Colorado and is also used for general aviation, particularly with regard to larger private aircraft types such as business jets that are unable to operate into the Steamboat Springs Airport (Bob Adams Field) due to runway constraints.
The airport is owned and operated by Routt County. The airport's three letter code, HDN, reflects its proximity to the small city of Hayden.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or airport:
“The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-coloured bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
