Horses are at the heart of Steamboat Springs’ roots. Northwest Colorado’s Ute Indians first acquired horses in the mid 1600s, making them among the first North American Indians to do so. The Yampa Valley’s first white settlers used horses to get here, then work the land. Cowboys and cowgirls have

Fall in Love with Steamboat
September 28, 2015 by Lizzie Larock
You hear people all year talk about Steamboat’s summers - how beautiful, temperate, and sunny they are for three months straight. It’s all true. But in my opinion, autumn is the secret of Steamboat Springs. During September and October, the days are just as lovely as summer - although the nights
The Best Steamboat Spots for Swiping your Visa
September 24, 2015 by Lizzie Larock
If shopping were an Olympic sport, quite possibly, I’d like to think I’d have made it to the podium one or two times. Strolling through the shops of downtown Steamboat is always a treat especially during the sunny days of summer. Here are a few of my favorite stops…

Sweet Cabin Livin’
September 19, 2015 by Jennie Lay
Nothing conjures up a Rocky Mountain escape like the romantic idea of a little log cabin buried in the aspens. Re-imagining life in a cabin makes everything seem simpler, quieter, truly rustic and decidedly Western. Every cabin needs a porch for afternoon reading, a quilt to hunker under on cool
Fall is OktoberWest in Steamboat

Leaf-peeping season usually means warm days, cool nights and perfect timing for a scenic drive (unless, of course,
Ride Howelsen Hill With an Alpine Slide
September 6, 2015 by Lizzie Larock
If you have never careened down the side of a mountain on a sunny summer day, in a downhill alpine sled, this is a must-do for families of all ages. Steamboat Springs is fortunate enough to have a fantastic alpine slide conveniently located in downtown on Howelsen Hill. Historic Howelsen Hill is
September in Steamboat
September 2, 2015 by Lizzie Larock
September is my most favorite month in Steamboat. It always has been and because every month in Steamboat has its own bragging rights, it’s certainly tough competition to be at slot #1.
Maybe it’s the crunch of leaves, perhaps it’s the warm sunny days with slightly cooler evenings or just the fact
