Hayden
Hayden is twenty miles west of Steamboat Springs on Highway 40, just a few miles west of the Yampa Valley Airport. There is 3 x daily bus service from Steamboat Springs to Hayden then continuing on to Craig. Highway 40 is a major state highway and is very well maintained throughout the summer and the winter.
Hayden offers a small town feel, yet has multiple eating options and even a brewery, a full grocery store, multiple businesses, gas stations and schools. The Granary is a yummy bakery that has taken over the historic Yampa Granary.
The agricultural heritage of Hayden remains strong. This is the HQ for the Routt County Fair.
Housing in Hayden varies from townhomes, ranches, historic homes in town, to new construction in new developments.
The Yampa River flows through Hayden. West of town is the Yampa River State Park, providing fishing, boating and camping.
approximate a 30 minute drive to Steamboat Springs if you want that larger town feel.
