Home to the Yampa Valley Regional Airport, the primary year-round air travel hub for Steamboat Springs, is the town of Hayden, Colorado. At just 25 miles west of Steamboat Springs on highway 40, Hayden is fast becoming a desirable location for those wishing to live in an environment as unique as this area is becoming. A growing bedroom community for Steamboat Springs, Hayden has a rich history in western Colorado for Coal Mining and Ranching, and offers very affordable housing for those relocating to the Yampa Valley. With pristine ranches surrounding the town, newer single-family homes and townhomes are becoming more prevalent in this area due not only to their affordability, but also the sense of freedom and tranquility an area like this creates. Living in Hayden allows the resident access to every kind of activity imaginable. Not only is the area less than 30 minutes from a world class ski resort, it is also close to boating, fishing, hiking and biking areas, as well as some of the best Deer and Elk hunting in the western United States. Yampa Valley Regional Airport, newly remodeled in the last 3 years, offers year round airplane service from both Denver and Salt Lake City as well as direct winter passenger jet service from seven cities across the United States. With a diverse population that is independent in spirit and constantly growing, Hayden might just be the perfect spot for a family desiring the healthy outdoor living the western slope of the rockies provides.
