The city of Steamboat Springs lies in the Yampa River Valley, located 160 miles from Denver, Colorado's capital city. It is the most populous city and the county seat of Routt County. The area was originally inhabited by the Yampatika Utes, who were displaced to reservations in Utah by the United States Army.
Renowned for its world-class skiing, Steamboat Springs has a rich history rooted in mining and ranching. This mountain town has produced more Winter Olympians than any other in North America, solidifying its reputation as a premier skiing destination.
Beyond the slopes, Steamboat Springs offers a variety of summer activities. Explore the Yampa Valley River with fishing, tubing, rafting, and kayaking adventures. Bike the scenic Yampa River Core Trail or hike through the picturesque landscapes of the four nearby state parks. Discover the diverse outdoor recreation opportunities that make Steamboat Springs a year-round destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
Steamboat Springs is also home to several major events every year, including the Winter Carnival, the Steamboat Marathon and the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo.
