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 [...]

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 wall [...]

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 [...]

If you were in Steamboat Springs this morning and didn’t ski, shame on you!  The snow was so incredible that everyone we rode up on the lift with said the same thing:  This is one of the best days ever. The snow was so deep we were getting face shots inching forward in the lift [...]

It used to be that families gathered at Grandma’s house to celebrate the holidays.  I remember being crammed into a bedroom with all my cousins on Christmas Eve, and my grandfather threatening us that if we went downstairs before it was light outside, we could forget about opening our presents.  Besides eating meals and watching [...]

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 [...]

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 the time [...]

It’s possible that summers in Steamboat Springs are even busier than winters. There is so much to do you’ll never fit all the activities in. This weekend was the Balloon Rodeo, Art in the Park, Strings in the Mountain, tubing the Yampa, tennis, swimming, camping, fly fishing, hiking, golfing, going to the rodeo and sitting [...]
