Celebrate 107 Years of Winter Tradition in Steamboat Springs

Mention a parade and fireworks and people say that’s typical. Talk about adults on shovels being pulled down main street behind horses or skiers jumping through fiery hoops and people stop to listen. In Steamboat Springs we do things differently, and with the oldest, continuous Winter Carnival west of the Mississippi, this event is certainly no different.

A worthy alternative to a day on the slopes, snowshoeing trails are abound in the Steamboat Springs area. Just a few miles from downtown Steamboat, the Fish Creek Falls trailhead offers views of the frozen iconic waterfall and several trail options ranging from leisurely to rigorous.

Gourmet sandwiches from a downtown deli make for an ideal lunch after a tour of the Uranium Mine trail, which ends in a glimpse into local history. It’s always exciting to stop and identify the animal tracks you see along the way.

Looking for a meal to satisfy the whole family after another day outdoors? Don’t miss Steamboat’s dining and nightlife options. Friday night is the perfect chance to dance to a live band or catch a performance at a local theater.
