Things To Do
Hiking, biking, fishing, and more!
There is so much to do in Steamboat Springs and the surrounding Yampa Valley in the summer, we've only listed some of our favorites. For more information and available activities, take a look at the Steamboat Springs website.
Saturday Farmer's Market
If you are around on Saturday, be sure to check out the Main Street Steamboat Farmers Market! The market is nestled along the river on scenic Yampa Street (downtown, between 5th and 8th), bringing small-town charm and big-time flavor from 9 AM to 2 PM. The market features local bread, meat, greens and sauces along with offerings from local artisans every Saturday from June to September.
Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs
A beautifully scenic and relaxing natural hot spring ~15 min from town. They have a variety of different temperature pools. A true Colorado and Steamboat experience! We highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. Pool reservations open 25–30 days in advance. Convenient shuttle services are available from multiple pick up points in town. Check their website for more information. Note: The springs are *clothing optional* after dark.
Fish Creek Falls
Just minutes from downtown Steamboat, this short hike takes you to Fish Creek Falls, a 280' waterfall. This is one of the most popular hiking destinations around Steamboat Springs. Walking/hiking trails are a combination of dirt and pavement. There is an easy paved walk to the waterfall overlook, and a beautiful ~1 mile round trip hike to the base of the stunning falls. A more intense hike is available to a second waterfall. There is a small parking lot at the trailhead, but it can fill up quickly during busy times. Additional parking is available along Fish Creek Falls Road.
Old Town Hot Springs
A recreation center and family-friendly aquatic center located in downtown Steamboat Springs. Facilities include a fitness center, climbing gym, and multiple hot spring-fed outdoor pools. They offer a variety of pools, including hot tubs, lap pools, and a leisure pool with water slides. Old Town Hot Springs is a great option for families with children, as they have designated family swim times and a kids' play area. Check their website for hours of operation and pricing.
Besame Steamboat

Smell That Bread Bakery
Delicious bakery in downtown Steamboat Springs. We go by here every trip.
Storm Peak Brewing Company
Delicious local brewery. Brewing location is just through town and they have a tap room near the base of the mountain.
Mythology Distillery
Local distillery with an awesome campus. We will be having our Welcome Party at their convenient mountainside location, but if you have the time, be sure to visit their main campus just outside of downtown Steamboat Springs where they mix up delicious cocktails to enjoy in the whiskey garden.

Cozy bookshop with a cafe featuring coffee drinks, baked goods and treats. Friendly service and used books upstairs. Great variety and selection of books.
