Skiing in Steamboat Springs
Perhaps best known for winter activities, Steamboat Springs is truly a year-round destination. The Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. offers some of the best tree skiing available, along with consistently incredible snow and top-notch ski school programs.
Off-the-Slopes Attractions
There are plenty of adventures to be had off-the-slopes too, from tubing at Howelsen Hill, snowshoeing on Rabbit Ears Pass or enjoying the many shops, restaurants and breweries downtown. If you’re shopping around town, remember to bring your own bag and stay hydrated with a reusable water bottle. And when it’s time to slow down and relax, there are two geothermal hot springs waiting to rejuvenate you: Old Town Hot Springs — right in the heart of town — and Strawberry Park Hot Springs, a short drive up the mountain.
Hiking & Biking in Steamboat
In the spring, after the Champagne Powder® snow melts, Steamboat Springs goes from a world-class skiing destination to a lush, green mountain paradise. This is Colorado mountain biking at its best, with trails around town for easy riding with the family and hundreds of other trails for all levels of cross-country mountain biking.
Trade your wheels for hiking boots and head out on one of the many hiking and backpacking trails. From easy strolls with the kids to challenging backcountry hikes, the one thing they all have in common is the breathtaking views.
Experience Local Art & Live Entertainment
If you’re looking for a cultural escape, Steamboat Springs boasts a vibrant arts scene. Stroll through downtown and you'll find murals, art galleries and more. If you happen to be visiting on the first Friday of the month, don’t miss the First Friday Artwalk. Strings Music Festival offers year-round live entertainment in a unique mountain setting. And no warm-weather trip would be complete without a night at the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo, one of the top rodeos in the country.
Tubing, Fly-Fishing & Other Water Activities
Steamboat Springs offers just as much fun in the water as it does on land. The Yampa River runs right through town and tubing the Yampa is a must-do activity. Get the most out of your float by booking with an outfitter that does all the work for you!
Fly-fishing is also a popular sport, and The Yampa’s Gold Medal waters draw anglers from all over Colorado and beyond. Check out the incredibly scenic waters of Steamboat Lake State Park and Pearl Lake State Park, along with the mountain-ringed reservoir at Stagecoach State Park, where you can fish, boat, canoe and sail.
However you choose to explore the city, we invite you to slow down, take it all in and "Do Steamboat Springs Right." Check out these resources to make the most of your visit while minimizing your impact on this special place.
