I personally love coming when it's snowing or when there is snow on the ground. In a clear night, you get the best view of the stars and sky. It's a hop skip and jump from Denver for a quick getaway, so I'm frequently here. There is no NO phone service, and please if coming in at night keep flashlights down to the ground as clothing is optional.

FROM PARKING LOT TO UPPER FALLS: - 1250 feet incline…read more- 8723 ft elevation - about 3 hours round trip (2 up and 1 down) Definitely a hike that needs some stamina. For regular hikers, not pro, not super experienced, hiking up to the Upper Falls gives just the right amount of difficulty and intense mountain edge hiking. It was certainly difficult at some parts, but we did it! One thing - don't expect signs on which way to go...just follow the trail. It starts with a gradual incline, then about the last 30-45 min. It gets a lot steeper and rocky. There are some beautiful views for sure. Along the way you see lots of Aspen trees and a couple bridges. We went after a storm a few days earlier so there was snow and part of the trail was pretty muddy and slippery with ice. One thing I don't understand, when you reach the upper falls, the trail seems to just end at the falls. I'm unsure which way to proceed to the lake view as there's no more path. I wish there were signs at that point to help you continue.

The accessible 1/4 mile paved path to the lower falls is perfect for anyone with mobility issues…read more From the overlook you can clearly see and hear the 200+ foot waterfall. There is another 2 mile, more strenuous trail that goes up the falls themselves for those with more time and energy. Worth the effort to experience the falls when visiting Steamboat Springs.

The main pool was a great pleasant temperature for…read moreanyone including young kids, while the warmer pools are as hot as I want (though I'm kind of surprised there aren't even hotter options for thermophiles). Several large cooler (but still heated) pools as well, and fun features like the small climbing wall above a deep pool to fall into. The water slide was worth the extra $7. Nice seating areas outside including the upper deck and the shaded grass. Locker rooms were spacious, include stocked showers, and lockers that lock with a code. The main thing holding me back from recommending it completely is the high price, which looks like has doubled in the last decade.

We were in Steamboat Springs and decided to check out one of the local hot springs, and this one…read moreended up being the perfect choice--especially in winter. We picked it mainly because you don't need tire chains or spikes to get there like you do with some of the other hot springs that are icy and hard to access. Huge plus. This hot spring is right in downtown Steamboat, basically on Main Street (or very close to it), and it's part of UCHealth. Super easy to find and very convenient. They have about six or seven different hot spring pools, all at different temperatures. The hottest pool the day we went was around 102-105 degrees, which felt amazing. I tried two pools: the hottest one and the large main pool with a bridge going over it, and I absolutely loved both. The water felt incredible, and when I got out, my skin felt so good. They even have a rock-climbing feature in one of the hot pools, which was a fun and unique touch--climbing while soaking was something I didn't expect but really enjoyed. They also have two water slides, which were pretty cool. It's $7 per slide per ride, so not included in admission, but still fun if you want to add something extra. Admission was about $35, and they do offer a military discount, which I appreciated. The facility itself was great--clean changing rooms, free lockers, a small café, and lifeguards on duty. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Overall, this was an excellent experience and a great way to relax in Steamboat Springs without dealing with sketchy winter driving. I would absolutely come back and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Thanks to paddle-board adventure, we were able to rent the board right at the lake and were able to enjoy our day to fullest. The employees were super-helpful and the guy at the tiki was extra vigilant to ensure the safety of his customers. The renting and returning was breeze because the employee were transporting the rental to and from the shore to their tiki. Overall, I would highly recommend going to pearl lake state park and give these guys a try :)

We got there at 7ish (concert starts at 6:30) and started at the bar with corndogs - best corndogs I've ever had! I got the normal one with waffle fries and my husband got the kielbasa corndog. Def in-house hand battered, and they did NOT have that old-fry oil taste! Recommend giving those a try for sure! Outside during the concert had some reserve seating, turf grass area right in front of stage, and whiskey barrel tables everywhere. Sound was great, environment was awesome, the sun sets behind so it wasn't hot or in your face. Band played for a while, took a 30min break then finished strong! Parking is the downfall, we were luckily told but our tubing shuttle guy to park at the lot before so we pulled in to one of the last few spots. And it was free $$$$$ parking Idk how to describe it other than we had a blast, favorite day of the trip, the people at Snow Bowl are awesome, fun, welcoming... gotta stop here on concert nights!!! And p.s. band was great! We jammed them on the rest of our trip.

The downtown is a bit far from the ski village which is a bit of a hassle I think but the downtown is super fun and nice. Has so many amazing dining options and great shopping. I think that steamboat might honestly be the best ski town for the food because there are so many incredible restaurants. They also have hot springs and a tubing hill and great summer activities. Definitely a beautiful get away from the city that doesn't get too crowded because it's further away compared to the other resorts from Denver. There is also an airport that has direct flights from LA, Chicago, and NYC to name a few which is super convenient. There also flights from dia of course. Such a beautiful place with lots to do!
