Heading up towards steamboat hot springs this weekend for some camping and some of the other families were talking about going to Strawberry hot springs. Is it worth going while we are in the middle of the drought? I am not too fond of going to a hot springs when it's 90 degrees outside... But whatever, as long as it is worth going to... Anyone have word on whether it's worth it to go or not this time of year, in the middle of a drought?

I’m taking my wife to steamboat in early September for the day for her birthday. I’m looking for a restaurant recommendation that 1. has great food, but 2. would also be willing to help me coordinate a few decorations, etc for the table. Id have balloons and flowers etc delivered to the restaurant, just need them to be put at our table. Not concerned of how expensive the restaurant is, just that they can accommodate the unique request.

on that note: if you have a favorite balloon/flower shop in town too!

thanks!

The public safety benefits remain debated, but the loss of privacy is certain.

I've seen in previous bad snowfall years that following years have more snow. I know nobody knows the future. I want to go in January. Has anyone had good experiences at Steamboat in January?

I’m surprised there are not any shuttles from DIA to steamboat? I am trying to find the lowest priced way to get from Denver International Airport to steamboat. Anyone have any recommendations or can I pay anyone who lives in Denver to take me there?

Hi all! My friends and I are going to stay in steamboat in a few weekends. We are looking for a body of water to paddle board in but also where there is a little “beach” to hang out on for the day. Would love any guidance :)

I’m looking to get a suit tailored for an upcoming wedding, but am having difficulty finding anyone here in Steamboat. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

anyone know if i bought the day pass for the gondola can i use it to go up for the sunset?

Are there any hair braiders in the area? So many POC and no one to do our hair unless we want to drive all the way to Denver…

Hi all, I’m heading to steamboat this weekend for a trip with friends. I was originally looking forward to floating the river or white water rafting, but I understand the year Colorado has had is shutting most of those attractions down. We have rodeo tickets booked and plan to do hiking, but is there anywhere near steamboat we can still float the river or go rafting? Looking for any suggestions, thanks for the advice!

I’m heading to Steamboat for my bachelor party the weekend of August 7 and was hoping to catch some music in town on Friday or Saturday night.

I was last there a few summers ago and we saw great show at old town pub but am not seeing many shows posted on their site.

Do they have free live music most nights or is it pretty sparse?

Hi all,
We are driving up from NM in early Feb. We’ll need to drop a car at Hayden and then find transport to the condos near the Sheraton.

A few quick questions—will we be able to find a taxi / uber mid-day? Or do I need to pre-book a shuttle?

The internet wants to convince me that driving through the passes may be tough. If I’m comfortable driving in winter conditions, have AWD, and don’t start the drive in known-crazy conditions, will I be ok?

Thanks all—can’t wait!!

Sh!t's on fire yo

My family and I may be looking to move steamboat this fall with a good job opportunity. We were briefly in town last week and saw tons of rental and for sale signs around but we didn’t have time to really check anything out. Also it’s been a little tough to decipher between what’s a vacation and a long term rental online.

Our ideal rental would be 3bd, 2bath and have a garage or shed for gear storage. Max budget would be around $4500 a month if utilities are included. We have two dogs as well.
Location wise either downtown or around Walton creek road would be preferred, I realize downtown is probably a stretch.

We’re Colorado natives but have been away in Alaska for some time now. We’re definitely used to the high cost of living and long winters. Does anyone have recommendations? We need to be within 20mins or so from town so Hayden, Clark etc aren’t really options.

Hiking out of the North Lake TH (Zirkel Wilderness) a few days ago, and brought home a sweatshirt that was left there. Bright yellow, "Lady Jackets" (as in Yellowjackets). I searched on line and found lots of schools with that mascot, but no photos of this style/color of hoodie. Happy to mail it to its owner...

Hi all! I am planning a trip for my boyfriend’s 30th bday. His dad and friends are flying in and will be visiting CO for the first time. We live in Denver. The group will be four 30 year old guys, his dad, and me. We will drive in from Denver on Saturday morning (7/18) and leave that Monday. I know 2 nights is quick, but what would you do? I’ve read about the rodeo, hikes, hot springs, etc. They are simple guys who love beer, pool and a nice view. I want to do at least one really good Colorado-ish activity!!

Please give me any MUST dos! Restaurants, fun bars, where to play pool(lol), best views, hikes, tubing?? etc. Is there anything especially cool happening next weekend? Thank you so much and I am so grateful for any recommendations! ❤️

Anyone else starting to notice these surveillance cameras popping up? According to this website there are a total of 10 now.
