Worst places to fly in my experience. Can’t even put a number on lack of calls and go-arounds to and from these types of airports.

Hayden is a bit of problem.

Once saw a Rocky Mountain Airways Dash 8 depart across the runway from the taxiway. He was empty, did a short field takeoff.

I don’t recall why but downwind departures are common at HDN. I had to do it once back a half century ago, but it’s an airport on a mesa so you have the fun of diving off the departure end of 28.
