USA Today published an article about Steamboat Springs today entitled, “Still a ski town, but with so much more”.
Anyone who has spent time here in Steamboat knows it’s a great place to visit.   It’s an even better place to live–even if you can only manage part time.
Some of the reasons people love living here are, [...]

The Yampa River Botanic Park is a hidden gem in Steamboat.  It’s located between downtown Steamboat and the mountain area and can be accessed from the Core Trail or Pamela Lane (turn by Freshies and Mt. View Car Wash, then turn left on Pamela Lane).
What I love about the Botanic Park is the ever-changing [...]

I ran across this blog post and video from MileHighMamas.com and one of their bloggers’ recent trips to Steamboat.
Amber Johnson and her family hiked, walked the Yampa Valley Core Trail, rode the Gondola, visited the Strawberry Park Hot Springs, went to the Rodeo then summed it all up by declaring Steamboat Springs “the state’s best [...]

Fish Creek Falls is an incredible 283-foot waterfall located in the Routt National Forest only 4 miles from downtown Steamboat Springs.  It’s one of the many gems close to town that you must see when you are in Steamboat.
The falls are most impressive in the spring when the melting snow creates a torrential [...]

Winter Carnival in Steamboat Springs has been a tradition for 96 years, and you won’t see anything like it outside of Routt County.  It is a 3-day event that includes horses, skiing, flames, fireworks, and a lighted man suited up with head-to-toe lightbulbs shooting fireworks from a back pack.
This year Leif Hovelson from Sweden is [...]

Here’s a joke a mortgage lender told me:
The mother asks the son what he wants to be for Halloween. “I want to be real scary. I want to be Freddie”.
The mom replies, “Freddie Krueger? From ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’?”
“No”, the boy replies, “Freddie Mac, from ‘Nightmare on Wall Street’.’”
Steamboat Springs was full of real [...]

Buffalo pass is one of my favorite places to go in the summer.  There are incredible hikes you can only take about three months a year because of the snow.  If you go at night, like we usually do, you’ll be treated to the most incredible stargazing.   You’ll see the Milky Way, shooting stars and [...]

The Steamboat Wine Festival kicks off tonight with the “Wine on the Mountain Kick Off” event at the top of the gondola. It is one of the events that sell out every year, but don’t worry if you don’t have a ticket. You can drink wine at all the various tasting events from [...]
