Steamboat Springs is known as “Ski Town U.S.A.” for its reputation as a breeding ground for U.S. Winter Olympic Athletes, but its also just as popular for its family-friendly hotels, slopes and activities. The town is about three to four hours away from Denver by car in good winter conditions.
The town of Steamboat Springs is essentially separated into several areas. One is the mountain area (known simply as “the mountain” or “the base area”) surrounding the base of the Steamboat Ski Area on Mt. Werner. There are multiple shops as well as dining and nightlife, though the area is currently undergoing a major renovation and reconstruction. The area also includes many hotels, condominiums and rental homes.
In summer, try hiking Fishcreek Falls, Mt. Werner, Buffalo Pass and Rabbit Ears pass. Or visit the Yampa River for kayaking, rafting, tubing or fly-fishing.
