Steamboat Springs, located in northern Colorado’s Yampa Valley, is a laid-back ski town with a true cowboy flare. With a population of just over 13,000, the area features a unique combination of national forest, mountains, valleys, three different lakes, and a river that runs right through town. Visitors and residents enjoy world-renowned skiing in the winter and seemingly endless biking trails in the summer, in addition to the natural hot springs and over 100 restaurants and shopping spots.
