Steamboat Mountain Base: Restaurants
If you're staying by the base of the Steamboat resort, there is so much to do right outside your door! Some of our favorite places to eat and drink are below: THE PARAMOUNT: Delicious breakfast and lunch THE WILD PLUM: An awesome market and cafe with coffee, quick breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, a gelato bar and wine store. THE RANGE: A food hall style restaurant with ramen, pizza, sandwiches, tacos and a full bar. A great outdoor spot with lawn games and music. LOS LOCOS TACOS: Great option for lunch, dinner, or drinks - good food, vibes and outdoor seating with a view of the mountain. MYTHOLOGY: Distillery with good bar food and snacks. Mostly outdoor. We will likely be hanging out near here Friday morning/afternoon.

BURGESS CREEK BEACH: Pack a cooler or grab a drink at a nearby restaurant and grab a seat on the beach! The creek runs down the base of the mountain and is the perfect spot to enjoy some sun and play in the water. A favorite for kids and dogs too! SHOPS: Walk around the base of the mountain and find lots of great shops for Steamboat merch, mountain gear, etc. RIDE THE GONDOLA: Get a ticket for $30 (free for 2025-2026 Ikon Pass Holders). At the top, you can check out the beautiful views, explore with a little bit of hiking, or hang out at Thunderhead Lodge. HIKING: -- Thunderhead Hiking Trail: Takes you from the base of the mountain to the top of the gondola. Full hike is 6.9mi, 2,214ft elevation gain, and around 4 hours long, but you can do just the lower portion for a shorter hike. --There are a handful of trails that start from the top of the Gondola (ranging from easy to medium difficulty) if you want to start at higher elevation without the extra work!
