Colorado's Jefferson County, located on U.S. 36 slightly northwest of Denver, owns and runs the small Rocky Mountain Metropolitan. According to the airport's website, the "location doesn't compete with Denver International Airport's congested airspace, allowing controllers to give priority to inbound and outbound traffic." This Broomfield, Colorado airport is conveniently located near Boulder's University of Colorado campus and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
