<h2>Skiing in Steamboat Springs</h2>
<p>Perhaps best known for winter activities, Steamboat Springs is truly a year-round destination. The <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/listing/steamboat-ski-%26-resort-corporation/1300/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Steamboat Ski &amp; Resort Corp.</a> offers some of the best tree skiing available, along with consistently incredible snow and top-notch ski school programs. </p>
<h2>Off-the-Slopes Attractions</h2>
<p>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, <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/activities/dining/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">restaurants</a> and <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/blog/post/steamboat-breweries-distilleries-and-tap-rooms/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">breweries</a> 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: <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/listing/old-town-hot-springs/647/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Old Town Hot Springs</a> — right in the heart of town — and <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/blog/post/history-of-strawberry-park-hot-springs-dance-more/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Strawberry Park Hot Springs</a>, a short drive up the mountain.</p>
<h2>Hiking &amp; Biking in Steamboat</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/activities/biking/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage ">biking</a> 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.</p>
<p>Trade your wheels for hiking boots and head out on one of the many <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/activities/hiking/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">hiking and backpacking trails</a>. From easy strolls with the kids to challenging backcountry hikes, the one thing they all have in common is the breathtaking views.</p>
<h2>Experience Local Art &amp; Live Entertainment</h2>
<p>If you’re looking for a cultural escape, Steamboat Springs boasts a <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/events/arts-and-entertainment/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage ">vibrant arts scene</a>.

And no warm-weather trip would be complete without a night at the <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/listing/steamboat-springs-pro-rodeo-series/1328/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo</a>, one of the top rodeos in the country.</p>
<h2>Tubing, Fly-Fishing &amp; Other Water Activities</h2>
<p>Steamboat Springs offers just as much fun in the water as it does on land. The Yampa River runs right through town and <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/activities/water-activities/tubing/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage ">tubing the Yampa</a> is a must-do activity. Get the most out of your float by booking with an outfitter that does all the work for you!</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/discover-steamboat/state-parks/steamboat-lake/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Steamboat Lake State Park</a> and <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/discover-steamboat/state-parks/pearl-lake/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Pearl Lake State Park</a>, along with the mountain-ringed reservoir at <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/discover-steamboat/state-parks/stagecoach-state-park/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Stagecoach State Park</a>, where you can fish, <a href="https://www.steamboatchamber.com/activities/water-activities/boating/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">boat</a>, canoe and sail.</p>
