Summer is perfect weather (mornings can be a bit nippy, so prepare) and Winter provides the fantastic champagne powder. Good for skiing, tubing or snowshoeing. Downtown is fun no matter the time of year. We enjoyed Art In The Park and then some shopping at the famous F.M.Light. Photos are of the annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo. A must attend event, especially the morning launch. Reserve a ticket to take the shuttle to Bald Eagle Lake and be sure to bundle up and get your camera ready. Breakfast donuts and coffee are available for sale as well as event merch.

Steamboat is one of my favorite ski towns. The snow is always great and the mountain is so big with…read moregood options for all levels. 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!

The time-limited parking was a bit annoying, but the entire town has it so it is difficult to avoid. Others were having picnics and playing croquet in the large field. There's a huge elk status that was cool also.

This was our first time on this trail. We only went as far as the barn because the trail past that…read morewas closed still due to fire. The path to the barn is just about 2 miles. we had 570 feet of elevation gain. all trails said it was like 850 or something like that but that was definitely a bit off. When you first start the trail is a bit of up but then it flattens out. There are so many lovely views along the way! i am not familiar with this area or not and if this is a off leash trail or not but every dog we encountered was off leash. So just be forewarned if you have a naughty dog this may not be the place for you. The trail was a little wider so we were able to walk in groups of two which was nice. the river below was frozen and there was snow on the other side of it. The trail however was dry and perfect for hiking The barn which is 2 miles in is great. Look for the secret door while you are there to a room! Would definitely go back if i were in the area. The kids we were with were mostly not experienced hikers and everyone did just fine on the trail.

But Marty and staff were warm and welcoming and put me at ease. Our guide, Riley, gave excellent instructions and she was very patient and encouraging. Her confidence in me made me feel comfortable that I could do this. As a bonus she snapped photos for us during the trip. ( don't even try to take your own - you have to focus the whole time on what your doing ) River kayaking was challenging but fun and super exciting! I would definitely recommend you give this a try

My cousin took his bike in to have his tires swapped out for gravel tires. All they needed was sealant and air, as they were already tubeless as well as the rims. Note, he brought in his tires which he was unable to remove on his own. Long story short, he was charged $120 for a 10 minute job! THEN they charged him for 4 rim strips because THEY jacked up 2 in the process! WTH?!?! Since when does the customer pay for the companies mistake?!? And did we say they didn't call us when encountering a problem or if there was an increased cost. Over priced, rude, condescending. I hope no one else from Steamboat Gravel race encountered this establishment. For everyone else, you've been warned. You'll thank me later.

Quite possibly the worst lunch I've experienced in Steamboat in recent history! Ordered simple…read morelunch of two shrimp roll appetizers at $17 a piece, two cokes and an order of fries. Waited 30 minutes for our food after ordering. The shrimp rolls were horrible - meager serving of tasteless tiny shrimp with some unidentifiable seasoning - no more than a teaspoon full in each of three tiny white bread rolls, cokes were horrible - some kind of off brand fountain syrup with a medicinal after taste and a basket of fries that were ice cold. Did I mention we waited 30 minutes plus for an outside table before ordering and it was made clear to us it was because we weren't 'members' so our wait would be longer...? Made to feel like a lesser class citizens. Then there were multiple apologies from our waitress for the poor service and food and we were told they only had ONE person working in the kitchen cooking for at least 50 customers. Won't be back. Even the spectacular view couldn't make up for our experience. Disappointing all around.

The library was so inviting and I could hear the sound of happy children on a Tuesday morning event while browsing the books on sale. I did not have cash or credit card so did not leave with any books, but know I can come back before 7 pm on a weekday! The bathrooms were super clean and the whole place looked modern. It was built in 2008 but looks much newer and well-kept. The librarian suggested I go upstairs and this was the real treat. I must have looked like I wanted something, so the upstairs librarian helped me find a biography on Oppenheimer as their book of Prometheus Unbound was checked out, which was the book the recent movie was based which I watched on my plane ride yesterday. I saw some comfy seats by the window with amazing views of the river, so I read in peace and quiet. I plan to come back each day to read another chapter! It was such an inviting space and a hub of community activities. If I lived here, I would come daily. Amazing hours-they open at 8 am on weekdays! Don't miss the second floor if you like beautiful views and peaceful, relaxing places to read. Shout out to the friendly librarians here!
