Colorado airport map prints
Colorado's airports sit a mile up before the mountains even start. Denver International spreads six runways across the plains east of the city at 5,434 feet, the longest 16,000 feet, the longest paved runway at any public-use airport in the country. Colorado Springs Municipal runs 13,500 feet at 6,187 feet, Pueblo Memorial three runways at 4,729, and Centennial 10,001 feet at 5,885. West of the Divide the fields sit in the valleys: Grand Junction Regional 9,339 feet at 4,861, Montrose Regional 10,000, Durango-La Plata County 9,201 at 6,689, Eagle County Regional 9,000 at 6,547, and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional 9,400 at 7,680. Telluride Regional sits at 9,070 feet, and Lake County at Leadville, the highest paved public field in the state, at 9,934 feet on a 6,400 foot runway.

Flying in Colorado
Flying in Colorado is about altitude before anything else: thin air, long takeoff rolls and runways built to suit, then mountain valleys where the field is the only flat ground for miles. Denver's six-runway spread and a single strip at Leadville are the same state. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
