Around Steamboat
When I moved to Steamboat 8 years ago, it wasn’t just the mountain that sold me on living here. It was the town as well. I was immediately hooked on its western heritage, small town charm and genuine friendliness. Not to mention shops, galleries and restaurants. Take a walk down Lincoln Avenue and you’ll see what I mean. From the quaintness of Old Town to the hot spots around town, here are some great experiences I think you’ll enjoy too:
- Have an old fashioned chocolate malt at the counter in Lyon’s Corner Drug.
- Try on cowboy hats at F.M. Light & Sons, owned by the same family for four generations.
- Enjoy a cappuccino and a good book at Off the Beaten Path Bookstore.
- Retrace the steps of settlers and skiers at the Tread of Pioneers Museum.
- Admire turn-of-the-century architecture on Steamboat’s Historical Walking Tour.
- Relax and enjoy a delicious gourmet experience at one of our many restaurants.
- Experience championship golf at Steamboat’s three courses: Catamount Ranch & Club, The Sheraton Golf Course and Haymaker Golf Course.
- Snag a view of the mountains while fishing the Yampa River.
Regardless of the season, there is an abundance of activities to participate in throughout the town and surrounding areas of Steamboat Springs, CO. Listed below, you will find tons of helpful information to assist you in your vacation plans while you are here enjoying our wonderful town:

Steamboat Springs is notorious for the “family friendly” atmosphere that is felt everywhere throughout our community. Children and dogs are just as welcome and a part of this community as anyone. Because of this, I thought it would be helpful to include a “Kids Guide” to make sure that your little ones have just as much fun as you do while you are here on vacation:

There’s a reason we call Steamboat Ski Town U.S.A. Every season brings 30 feet of Champagne powder, the driest and fluffiest snow on six mountain peaks and 3,000 acres of skiable terrain. Steamboat is a skier and riders paradise. But Steamboat Springs offers so much more to enjoy:
- Meet Olympic medalist Billy Kidd, who gives pointers every day at 1:00 p.m. at the top of Why Not.
- Watch the daredevils do tricks in Mavericks, North Americas longest superpipe.
- Snowmobile in our beautiful National forests.
- Go tubing with the kids under the lights on Preview.
- Snowshoe under the stars on a Full Moon Tour.
- Admire our scenic wonderland on a Sunday morning cross-country trek.
- Snuggle under a warm blanket on a cozy sleigh ride to Ragnars Restaurant.
Enjoy horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking after the winter snow has melted.
