Things To Do
Steamboat Ski Resort
Steamboat Ski Resort offers so many summer activities for the whole family! Enjoy a range of hikes for all abilities, take in the view on the scenic gondola, ride the alpine side, or explore the trails by horse or mountain bike.
Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs
A staple of Steamboat! Just outside of town, the natural stone pools and hot springs are peacefully tucked away in the forest. It’s the perfect way to relax and soak in the Colorado scenery. Note the $20 entry fee is cash-only. You can find several roundtrip transportation options from town or drive the 20 minutes to the hot springs.
Steamboat Pro Rodeo
From bull riding and barrel racing to live music and BBQ, the Steamboat Pro Rodeo is a fun way to experience Steamboat’s cowboy roots. The rodeo runs Friday night, and the energy is always high—boots and hats optional, but highly encouraged!
Downtown Steamboat Springs
Take home a little piece of Steamboat! Stroll down Lincoln Avenue and find plenty of charming shops, restaurants, boutiques, and local galleries. From cozy mountain gear to unique souvenirs, downtown Steamboat is the perfect place to wander. Make sure to check out local favorites like F.M. Light & Sons for your classic Western wear!
Yampa River Core Trail
Stretching 7.5 miles along the river through town, the Yampa River Core Trail is perfect for a walking, biking, or a peaceful morning jog. With scenic river views, wildlife (and tubing!) sightings, and easy access to parks and downtown, it’s a great way to enjoy Steamboat at your own pace.
Main Street Farmer's Market
On summer Saturdays, Steamboat’s Main Street fills with local vendors, fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts.
Stagecoach Reservoir
Find your beach! Just a short drive from town, Stagecoach Reservoir is a beautiful lake surrounded by rolling hills and mountain views. Enjoy paddleboarding, boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing, or just lounging by the water on a sunny day.
Tubing the Yampa River
A relaxing (and refreshing!) way to enjoy Steamboat’s scenic Yampa River views. Grab a tube from several downtown outfitters, kick back, and float through the mountains! The float can be as long or as short as you’d like, and there are plenty of riverside stops like parks, restaurants, and bars along the way.
Fly Fishing
A fly fisher’s paradise! The Yampa River offers several miles of public access, or check out nearby water like Stagecoach Reservoir or Steamboat Lake State Park.
Haymaker Golf Course
With wide-open fairways and stunning mountain views, Haymaker is Steamboat’s go-to public golf course. It’s a beautiful spot to play a round!
