Steamboat Springs is located in Northwest Colorado, about 160 miles northwest of Denver. Also called Ski Town USA® and known for its World Class skiing facilities, Steamboat Springs was originally a summer resort. Travelers in the early 1900s visited Steamboat Springs in the summer months for the natural hot springs and vast hunting and fishing opportunities. Today summer activities span the spectrum, with three championship golf courses, an indoor-outdoor tennis center, biking, hiking, kayaking, fly fishing, and horseback riding right in town.
Nearby reservoirs, rivers, wilderness, and four Colorado State Parks also provide excellent boating, fishing, camping, and rafting. Throughout the summer months, Steamboat hosts a ProRodeo series every weekend mid-June through late August, as well as several chamber music, jazz, bluegrass and popular music concerts, an opera, art galleries and historical landmarks. Steamboat Springs’ most popular summer events are the Fourth of July Cowboys’ Round Up Days and Rainbow Weekend’s Balloon Rodeo and Art in the Park.
Steamboat Springs is known for its authentic Western feel and small town hospitality. Year-round visitors enjoy a comfortable climate and four distinct seasons. Downtown altitude is 6,695 with the surrounding mountains rising to over 10,500 feet. There are over 70 diverse restaurants and bars, as well as unique shops and boutiques. Conference and event facilities of all sizes and types offer space for retreats, reunions, and weddings. Steamboat and the surrounding area offer a wide variety of lodging options from guest ranches to full service resort hotels.
