Things To Do
Midnight Ranch
This is the venue for the wedding!
Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs
Just outside of Steamboat Springs nestled alongside Hot Springs Creek lies one of the most spectacular mineral springs in the world. Come here to restore those sore muscles after endless hours of dancing! Caution, clothing becomes optional after dark :)
Old Town Hot Springs
Soak, relax and rejuvenate in the year-round, natural outdoor hot spring pools right in the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs. In the summer you can cool off in the cooler water slide, kiddie, lap and deep end pools. The pools have been here for over 100 years, enjoyed by the Native American Ute Indians who first settled the area and later the first homesteaders.
Yampa River Botanic Park
Once a horse pasture, this 6 acre park was donated to the City of Steamboat Springs. Most plants in the Park are labeled with common and scientific names and show which plants are native only to Northwest Colorado (endemic). The Park is free and open to the public from dawn to dusk.
Fish Creek Falls
Just minutes from downtown Steamboat, clear and fresh high alpine water roars down Fish Creek Canyon, spilling over the magnificent 280-ft Fish Creek Falls, one of the most popular destinations around Steamboat Springs. A short 1/4-mile walk down a gravel path is a pristine view of the lower falls, while a moderate hike with picturesque views will take the more adventurous to Upper Fish Creek Falls and Long Lake, deep in the Routt National Forest.
Steamboat Lake State Park
At 8,100 feet elevation, in a place where the Colorado sky seems just a bit bluer, this 1,053 surface acre lake rests in a gorgeous valley surrounded by mountains and views of the continental divide.
Stagecoach State Park
Stagecoach State Park sets the stage for great recreation in the lush Yampa Valley near Steamboat Springs. Vistas and views are backdrops to the 820 surface acre reservoir providing renowned lake and river fishing.
Hahns Peak
Up for a hike? Hahns Peak is a summit in Routt County, Colorado, in the United States. With an elevation of 10,774 feet, Hahns Peak is the 1855th highest summit in the state of Colorado. 3.6 mile out and back trail, 1,410ft elevation change.
Salt & Lime
Matt & Rachel's must-go spot for quick and casual food in Steamboat. We recommend ordering and sharing all the tacos on the menu!
O'Neil's Tavern & Grill
After touring Midnight Ranch, Matt and Rachel stopped at O'Neil's Tavern for Matt's birthday dinner. We had some of the tastiest Irish fair we have ever had!
Lyon's Corner Drug & Soda Fountain
One of Rachel's favorite childhood spots in Steamboat! The retro soda fountain serves up delicious ice cream and milk shakes all year round!
