Welcome To Steamboat SPRINGS Photo by Noah Wetzel

In summer Steamboat Springs comes alive with a

vibrant downtown, a seemingly endless calendar of events, neon green aspen trees, warm, dry days and cool mountain evenings.

Outdoor enthusiasts have so many choices to make: hiking local trails or exploring the Routt National Forest and the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We’re known as Bike Town USA for a reason.

We offer road cycling on country roads and the riverfront Core Trail, and mountain biking in a wide range of offerings on over 200 miles of trails or lift-accessed riding at Steamboat Ski Area.

Three area golf courses offer a variety of experiences.

Horseback riding adventures await. Festivals and concerts bring excitement and energy to the town. And our Western heritage is celebrated with the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series, winner of the Mountain States Circuit Small Rodeo of the Year.

You can also enjoy a few of the finer things in life with a vibrant art scene, gallery walks and musical performances. Add a visit to some of our award-winning restaurants and make your stay complete.

We’d love to help you plan your visit to Steamboat, whether it’s a weekend getaway, corporate retreat, sports tournament, wedding or family vacation. Please give us a call at 970-879-0880, visit our website at steamboatsummer.com or stop by the Visitor Center when you get to town.

We look forward to seeing you!

CELEBRATE SUMMER “Come for the winter but stay for the summer” is a Steamboat Springs mantra. Bluebird days and long summer nights are to be celebrated, and Steamboat knows how to party, all season long.

Western heritage at the Ranch Rodeo, followed by an evening at the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo and one of the largest fireworks displays in Colorado.

The half marathon begins midway, with the 10K covering Strawberry Park and Old Town Steamboat.

Saturday-Sunday, July 11-12 Watch the dawn break beneath a sky filled with a kaleidoscope of color as hot air balloons ascend in the early hours floating over the valley. Arrive early as they inflate and try your luck earning a crewing spot. Witness a balloon rodeo as crews challenge each other to contests such as dipping into Bald Eagle Lake, south of town. Spend the rest of the day at Art in the Park, enjoying live music, local performances and eclectic foods as you shop. Meander through the tented village by the Depot, viewing and buying works from the 150 artisans. Looking for a little more fast-paced action?

Head for the fields by the tennis bubble and witness the Cowpie Classic. This rugby tournament attracts players and spectators from Colorado and neighboring states.

All Arts Festival Tuesday-Sunday, Aug. 11-16 A fusion of Steamboat’s eclectic arts scene blends music, performing and visual arts with culinary talents. Take in an Emerald City Opera performance, spend an afternoon at the Yampa Art Stroll or sit in on a free opera class, then spend the evening enjoying acclaimed musicians at Strings Music Festival.

Join 450 Mustang owners for a series of weekend happenings including scenic mountain drives, timed races and a Show n’ Shine display on Lincoln Avenue. Coinciding with Father’s Day, scheduled events are open to the public.

Thursday-Sunday, July 2-5 For a small town, Steamboat turns out big-time for Independence Day festivities. Rise and shine with a pancake breakfast, then snag a seat for the hometown parade. (Tip: curbside seats go early.) Head over to Howelsen Hill for the Jumpin’ and Jammin ski jumping competition featuring past, present and future Olympians. Cool off with ice cream and strawberries at the Pioneer Days Block Party while listening to the brass band. Discover the heart of Steamboat’s VG 10 | ONLINE AT WWW.steamboat CHAMBER. com

Cowboy Roundup Days and July Fourth Parade

Barrel racing is a star attraction at the Steamboat Springs ProRodeo Series at Romick Arena on Friday and Saturday nights. Pre-show fun starts at 6 p.m.

Deborah Olsen

Uncle Sam enjoys the Fourth of July Parade, which is such a small-town favorite that people begin staking out seats at sunrise.

USA Pro Challenge Friday-Tuesday, Aug. 14-18 Steamboat Springs welcomes top cyclists from across the world as they race through nine host cities in the Rocky Mountains. For the first time in its history, the race kicks off in Steamboat. A weekend full of festivities precedes the circuit race on Monday, and Tuesday’s start of the first stage race takes riders from Steamboat to Arapahoe Basin. www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com

Wild West Air Fest Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 5-6 Big skies make the perfect backdrop for aerobatic displays of daredevil stunts and war aircraft flyovers during Labor Day weekend.

MAKE A SPLASH On the river The Yampa River is the life and soul of downtown Steamboat Springs during summer. Kayakers and rafters kick off the season cruising at speed on the whitewater. Once the flow mellows, paddleboarding and tubing become the order of the day. Mountain Sports Kayak School, Paddleboard Adventure Company and Bodhi SUP offer instruction and rentals. Equipment can also be rented from Backdoor Sports.

Swimmers can float or swim against a slight current in the C-hole across from Bud Werner Library, or downstream in the D-hole. Little bathers like the warm overflow pools found across from the Old Town Hot Springs, where surrounding trees offer shade.

In the creek Cool off after a hike in Burgess Creek at the base of Mount Werner. Mini-waterfalls and wading pools provide the ultimate spot for an impromptu splash on the mountain. Kids can zip back and forward between the water and the base area’s Coca Cola Adventure Zone.

Paddleboard beneath the backdrop of stunning Hahn’s Peak at Steamboat Lake in North Routt, located 26 miles from downtown. Rent a pontoon boat or cast a line from the shore before dipping into the water at the swimming beach. Find a secluded picnic spot at nearby Pearl Lake or explore the forested shores in a kayak. Head south of town to Stagecoach Reservoir for an action-packed day of wakeboarding, waterskiing and boating, or circumnavigate the lake on the bike path. Camping is available at each park, with full-service marinas at Steamboat Lake and Stagecoach Reservoir.

Instruction and rentals are offered at both.

In the springs Old Town Hot Springs – Feeling energetic? Swim laps, master the outdoor climbing wall or challenge a buddy to a race on the Wibit before whizzing down the slides. Soak in the naturally heated warm pools, where soothing jets massage aches away. A fitness center, daycare, café and massage facilities are on site. Suit and towel rental is available. www.oldtownhotsprings.org / 970-879-1828 Strawberry Park Hot Springs – Escape to geothermal waters north of town in the enchanting hills of Strawberry Park.

Float between hot pools, cool off in the creek, book a massage or make a night of it and stay in a cabin. Clothing is optional after dark. www.strawberryparkhotsprings.com / 970-879-0342

At the lake

Swedish exchange students Cornelia Ryd and Linda Tverdek-Westerlund paddle back for a picnic and volleyball by the swimming beach at Stagecoach Reservoir.

In waders Public fishing is abundant in and around Steamboat. Fishing downtown on the Yampa River is the locals’ favorite, together with upstream at Chuck Lewis State Wildlife Park. The tailwaters at Stagecoach Reservoir can prove successful, especially in early summer. Scenery rewards casters at Christina State Wildlife Area on the Elk River or Bear River in the Flat Tops. Stop by any of the downtown fly shops for advice on conditions and daily hatches, plus guided-trip opportunities.

Never fished? Try free casting classes run by Steamboat Flyfisher every Saturday, 5 p.m., at West Lincoln Park (off 13th Street).

Local Knowledge River rat Danny Tebbenkamp paddled his way into Steamboat Springs in 1997, and started up his own outfitting company, Paddleboard Adventure Company, more than a decade later. He loves the mix of exercise, adrenaline, surf, sun and water.

If you’ve never tried paddleboarding, what do you advise for getting started?

Begin on a small body of flat water. Start on your knees and always be looking out, never down. Make sure you get the right board for your size and for the kind of paddleboarding you want to do.

danny tebbenkamp

Danny Tebbenkamp rides the waves at the C Hole in front of Bud Werner Memorial Library.

How does paddleboard yoga differ from other forms of yoga?

Paddleboard yoga requires more concentration, core strength and balance since you have the added dynamic of floating on water. The boards used for yoga are super stable, so no need to worry. What’s the worst that can happen? You’ll get wet.

Where are your favorite paddleboard spots around Steamboat?

The Yampa River town stretch is always good.

Early season, it’s fun because it’s big water, and late season it’s more technical. I also love

Pearl Lake – the water can be really glassy and the views are outrageous.

What are your tips for safe paddleboarding?

Avoid starting in the river unless you are taking a lesson with a certified instructor.

Wear a leash with a quick-release system attached to your life vest, not an ankle leash, when on the river. Also, there is no shame in kneeling when you feel uncomfortable in whitewater. It is better to fall from a kneeling position than a standing one. Be respectful of other users and steer clear of fishermen and their lines.

BEST FOOT FORWARD Steamboat Springs is a hiker’s paradise.

Walk every day and never cover the same trail twice. Opt for an in-town short walk or clamber off the beaten track seeking an afternoon of solitude. Top 10 locals’ favorites start from slow and sedate and graduate to full-scale scrambles.

Yampa River Core Trail Bustling with activity, the Yampa River Core Trail offers a scenic 7-mile paved walk, with must-see stops including the Yampa River Botanic Park along the way. Soak up the atmosphere of river life while strolling at your own pace from one end of town to the other.

Vista Nature Trail Jane Sindell

Perfect for those seeking a low-impact, short hike on Mount Werner with views at every turn. The trail is less than 1 mile long starting and ending at the top of the gondola. Little hikers can keep their eyes open for wooden nature signs along the way, and don’t forget to pack a picnic to enjoy at a scenic stop.

A backpacker begins his ascent above a mountain lake in Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area.

Spring Creek

Getting there: From Lincoln Avenue turn north on Third Street, turn right onto Fish Creek Falls Road for 0.3 mile, go left on Amethyst Drive for 0.4 mile to trailhead on right at Spring Creek Road. Parking is off street.

Start downtown and finish in the national forest on this 5.2-mile, hugely popular multi-use trail. The hike starts out going uphill gradually on a dirt road to Spring Creek Park with a covered rest stop, pretty lake and option for a short loop walk around the water.

The creekside trail continues through a narrow canyon on singletrack, climbing up to Dry Lake Campground, off Buffalo Pass Road.

Kids love the park, and the lake loop is ideal for young families.

Fish Creek Falls The jewel in Steamboat’s scenic crown is a 283-foot waterfall pouring out of the Zirkel Wilderness. Three hiking options allow hikers of all abilities to access views of the falls. The overlook is a ½-mile, fully paved trail with rest stops and informational boards highlighting native plants and wildlife. A 1/4-mile, steep dirt trail leads down to the base of the falls with a pathway to the Overlook trail if hikers wish to make a loop. A 6-mile hike continues up from the falls following steep switchbacks through dense evergreen forest and aspen groves opening into a lush valley. The trail leads to the second falls, Long Lake and the Continental Divide Trail.

Getting there: From Lincoln Avenue, turn north on Third Street, then right on Fish Creek Falls Road. Follow to the end. $5 daily parking fee.

Suzi Mitchell

Emerald Mountain

A gondola ride, picnic at Thunderhead Peak and a gentle descent down Mount Werner makes for a memorable family outing.

VG 16 | ONLINE AT WWW.steamboat CHAMBER. com

The biggest challenge hiking on downtown’s Emerald Mountain is choosing which path to take. The most popular option is a 4-mile round trip to the quarry, up Blackmere Road. The climb is relatively steep but nowhere can such panoramic views of the Yampa Valley and Mount Werner be found.

Getting there: Turn down 13th Street off U.S. 40, cross the railway line, left onto Gilpin, then left again on Saratoga. Park in designated areas along the loop.

Mad Creek

Ken Proper

Only 5 or so miles outside of town, this hike feels surprisingly remote despite the popularity of the trail. A steep ascent up a gravely track has one huffing and puffing but that’s soon lost by the sound from the roaring creek below and the more gentle terrain that follows. Large grassy meadows, the old barn by Mad House and fishing spots by the creek make ideal picnic stops. Various other trails can be accessed from Mad Creek Trail.

Getting there: from U.S. 40 take Routt County Road 129 towards Clark for 5 1/2 miles. A small fenced-in parking area on the right is marked Mad Creek Trail.

Clouds gather over Skinny Fish Lake in the Flat Tops.

Sarvis Creek Trail Surrounded by dense forest in parts, the trail follows Sarvis Creek before entering a valley framed by rocky terrain. A haven for wildlife, the trail allows hikers to marvel at the geology, mixed flora and fauna, typically in relative solitude. A steep ascent starts the hike for almost two miles.

Getting there: From U.S. 40, take Colorado 131 south for little over 4 miles. Turn left onto Routt County Road 18 and drive approximately 3 ½ miles. At the Y, turn left and drive 3 miles to the Sarvis Creek Trail #1105 sign, turn left to the parking area.

Rabbit Ears A hike to the rocky landmark dubbed Rabbit Ears for its distinctive dual pillar formation is a must. During peak flowering months the initial walk takes hikers through a patchwork quilt of color ascending gently to a short, challenging climb at the end.

Views abound, but be warned: so can mosquitoes, so be prepared and it’ll be worth every step.

Getting there: From Rabbit Ears Pass take the turn for Dumont Lake for approximately 1 mile to an old stone monument. Turn left onto dirt road FSR 131 and almost immediately look for marker 291 on the right. The hike begins at the marker.

Ken Proper

The Zirkel Circle An 11-mile loop that starts from the Slavonia trailhead takes hikers past Gilpin Creek to the magnificent Gilpin Lake, over to Gold Creek Lake, down Gold Creek trail and back to Slavonia Trailhead. Views are incredible, but the terrain is steep. Be prepared for water crossings along the way.

Getting there: Take Routt County Road 129 to Clark from U.S. 40 for 18 miles until just past Clark. Go right on Seedhouse Road, FDR 400 for 11.9 miles to Slavonia. Parking is at the end of the road.

Several trails begin from this point.

Devil’s Causeway Little compares to the sheer adrenaline rush of crossing Devil’s Causeway in the Flat Tops Wilderness. At an elevation of 11,800 feet and only several feet wide in places, the sheer drop can set most hearts pounding. Beautiful wild flowers and picturesque Little Causeway Lake reward hikers with spectacular vistas.

Getting there: From Yampa, take County Road 7 south for 6 miles, then continue an additional 9 miles on FSR 900 to the parking area on the north side of Stillwater Reservoir. Take East Fork Trail, No. 1119.

A friendly llama takes the weight off hikers, carrying supplies in the Zirkel Wilderness.

Jake Castle takes in the views from the summit of Gray’s Peak.

BEST FOOT FORWARD

JAKE CASTLE

After completing a bachelor of arts degree in elementary education with a focus on natural science, Connecticut-raised Jake Castle came to Steamboat Springs in 2012 for a winter. He never left. He is Yampatika’s environmental literacy program coordinator during the school year, and camp director in the summer.

Best hiking spots to see the most flora and fauna?

Emerald Mountain, Mad Creek Trail and Fish Creek Falls in early summer. Late season: Dumont Lake up to Rabbit Ears, Stillwater Reservoir in the Flat Tops, the Zirkel Circle hike, Mica Basin (for the athletically inclined) and Hahn’s Peak.

Any advice for bird watching here?

Great places for birds are riparian areas, hayfields and montane and subalpine forests.

The botanic gardens boast tubular flowers, popular with hummingbirds, and the feeders attract a variety of songbirds. Bobolinks have been seen at Yampatika’s Environmental Learning Center. Keep an eye out for sandhill cranes, large heron-like birds that may be the oldest known bird species on earth; they stand up to 4 feet tall, definitely not something you want to miss.

Courtesy Jake Castle

Local Knowledge

Most amazing spot for geology?

Hands down the most jaw-dropping geology in the area is the Sawtooth Range in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. Hahn’s Peak is also a must-see. This extinct volcano was heavily mined in the beginning of the 20th century, and many historical mining sites can still be seen.

Can anyone visit the historic Legacy Ranch where Yampatika runs its programs?

Visitors are welcome after summer camp is over at 5 p.m. to take a self-guided walking tour. There is a renewable energy display, USDA certified People’s Garden and the greenhouse.

SPIN YOUR WHEELS Road Biking Explore mile upon mile of ranching countryside and spectacular mountain vistas from the saddle of a road bike. Follow undulating paved roads or climb a steep mountain pass. Local riders have several favorites, including Routt County Road 14 or River Road, so named because it follows the meandering Yampa River.

Twentymile Road is a less trafficked option with several climbs and gentle rolling hills. Parts of the road are open range so be cautious of cattle in the way. Arguably the most scenic ride is up Elk River Road and along Seedhouse Road, which should include a stop at the historic Clark Store for a refreshment. Increase the ride considerably by continuing from Clark on County Road 129 over Willow Creek Pass through Hahn’s Peak Village and Steamboat Lake, turning back at Columbine.

BMX and Pump Tracks The BMX Track – Located near the base of Howelsen Hill, the track is free and suitable for all ages and abilities. The 950-foot track was Aryeh Copa

professionally designed, with rollers, mounds and berms, looping back on itself with four straight shots.

The Pump Track – Close to the base of the ski area, the pump track is a banked track open to riders of all abilities. Coast the whole course without pedaling, by combining a pumping motion with gravity and momentum. Track is free to users.

The Bear River Bike Park – Steamboat’s newest pump track is located by the Yampa River on the west side of town. Small, medium and large jump lines are built in a progressive format, allowing riders to work up from small tabletops to big air grabs.

The park is also home to the Bear River Skate Park with easy access from the Core Trail.

Mountain Biking Steamboat Bike Park – The ski area boasts over 50 miles of mixed terrain trails for varying ability levels. Take a ride up the gondola or make your own ascent. Trails are clearly marked with signs

Dan HAGNEY

What are your favorite biking trails?

Emerald Mountain – up Lupine trail, take in the view at the quarry, go across Blair Witch, down MGM and Molly’s (1-1 1/2 hours). Another great one is Hot Springs/ Mad Creek/Red Dirt trails, then back up Hot Springs (2-3 hours).

Any tips on riding downhill for novices?

Stand up on your pedals at the 3 and 9 o’clock position. Keep your weight back and your butt slightly behind the seat. Use both brakes – don’t skid. Look down the hill 5-15 feet, anticipating your next move. Always stop to let uphill riders pass.

Eric Rabesa

Owner of local firm B Marked Promotions, Dan Hagney worked in France for a cycle tour company before working as a sales rep for Steamboat Springs’ Moots Cycles. On days off, he can often be found with sons Tommy, 11, and Michael, 9.

What do you suggest to keep younger bikers happy?

Dan Hagney navigates the turns on a desert ride during a weekend break.

Any advice before heading out on a trail?

Local shops and the guides are great resources. Don’t be afraid to ask a local for directions or mechanical help. If the trail

Rotary Trail – the climb is not too hard and the ride down is rewarding.

For little kids – ride the Core Trail to the pump track at Bear River Skate Park. Bring lots of snacks and water. Most kids’ bikes don’t allow for water bottle cages so bring kid-sized Camelbacks – you can keep a spare tube in them.

Historic Walking Tour Steamboat Springs Mineral Springs Tour How did Steamboat Springs get its name? Was there a time when a steamboat could navigate the Yampa River? No, but in the imagination of 19th century explorers, who were led to the spring by its “puffing” sound, the intermittent noise sounded like a steamboat headed upstream.

“Steamboat Legacy,” a bronze sculpture by artist Sandy Graves, epitomizes the three legs of Steamboat’s economy: mining, agriculture and skiing. It stands on the lawn of the historic Routt County Courthouse.

Although the railroad’s arrival in 1908 virtually silenced the geyser, it can still be seen along the south shore of the Yampa River, behind the library. It is one of many stops on the Mineral Springs Tour.

More than 150 springs have been identified in the area, which stands atop a fault line generated 42 million years ago. Steamboat’s thermal waters originate in these faults at depths of 12,000-15,000 feet. Each has a distinctive combination of naturally occurring minerals. The most popular is the Heart Spring at Old Town Hot Springs.

Take a tour of some of Steamboat’s most interesting springs with a Yampatika naturalist, or pick up a brochure throughout town to take a self-guided tour.

Did you know the building that now houses Centennial Hall was once the town’s power plant? When the 75-foot smokestack was being installed to make Steamboat the first community in Northwest Colorado to have electricity, the supports gave way and the stack crashed to the ground. Even after the damages were repaired and the power plant became operational, locals avoided the intersection, just to be safe.

Stories like these bring Old Town Steamboat Springs to life during a weekly historical walking tour, hosted by Tread of Pioneers Museum. The most popular of the summer walking tours, the historical tour covers 10 blocks of Lincoln Avenue, as well as adjacent streets.

The guided tour leads people past historically and architecturally significant buildings, along with stories from their glory days. The option is also available for a self-guided tour.

Local Business PROFILE

Sixteen miles north of town, the Clark store lures locals and visitors alike for a scoop of its delectable ice cream.

A day trip to North Routt just wouldn’t be the same without a stop at the Clark Store. Radiating roadside appeal, the wellloved store lures visitors and locals off Routt County Road 129 for a whole host of reasons.

Starting a day of adventure with the store’s homemade sausage burrito and freshly brewed cup of coffee is equally as rewarding as a post-hike hamburger, or a serving of sought-after ice cream. Be warned on the latter option, you’ll need to get in line, but as anyone who has tried it will testify, it’s worth the wait.

The Clark Store is engrained in North Routt history. It opened its doors as the original post office in Hahn’s Peak Village in 1889.

The building moved three times before ending up in its current location, even partially surviving a fire. Exactly 430 post boxes still occupy one wall, serving the thriving rural community.

The creaking wood building with its metal roof is not simply a store. As manager Jim Davis says, “It’s the hub of the community.”

A constant buzz of activity, visitors mix with locals picking up mail,

Mountainside

Ziggy Marley, Wednesday, Aug. 5; Jeff Austin, Saturday, Aug.15.

Concerts start with an opening band around 5 p.m.; main act begins around 7 p.m. ending just after 9 p.m. Refreshments are available for purchase from a range of local vendors. www.steamboatfreeconcerts.com / 970-846-5086

With its close proximity to Burgess Creek, Slopeside is a great place to chill out during happy hour, while kids splash around nearby. Head up the gondola from 5 p.m. for Sunset Happy Hour on Thursdays. $12 includes gondola ride and $5 off food and beverage. Take in mountainside views from the Truffle Pig deck or indulge the taste buds at nationally acclaimed Café Diva. Look out for free Movies on the Mountain nights. As darkness falls, the base becomes an outdoor theater. Popcorn and refreshments are available for purchase, but bring your own chair and blanket.

Yampa Street A hub of activity all summer long is Yampa Street with its canopy of fairy lights, and riverside setting. Kick back with a cocktail in hand on the deck at Aurum, or sit beneath the trees listening to the water rush by at Sweet Pea. Lively spots include Sunpies and the Boathouse. Outdoor seating lures diners to Carl’s Tavern and Eureka, perfect for people watching or checking out the buzz during Saturday Farmer’s Markets.

Attention parents and grandparents. Consider enrolling the kids in a weeklong summer day camp where they’ll learn something new about the West and make local friends. Check out www.yampatika.org, www.steamboatbooktrails.org, www.perry-mansfield.org and www.steamboatarts.com/youngatart.

Downtown Live music draws the crowds to Schmiggity’s and the Old Town Pub. Local brews are the order of the day or night at The BARley, and Mahogany Ridge Brewery with patio seating. Cocktails and fine foods await at c.v. bistro, Harwigs and The Laundry.

Local Knowledge

What are your top three favorite Steamboat summer events?

SCOTT PARKER

Free summer concerts, Art in the Park and the Farmers’ Market because my entire family can attend and have a great time. Each event has true local flair between the music, art and food.

New Yorker Scott Parker first came to Steamboat Springs in 1996. He met and married his wife, Shannon, started a family, then headed back east. Three kids later, the Parkers have settled back in the valley, where Scott is now chief of the Chief, committed to bringing varied entertainment to the ’Boat.

Favorite way to spend an evening in the ‘Boat?

Having a BBQ with friends and family. Grilling local Yampa Valley beef and drinking a microbrew from Butcherknife is the way to go. All summer long, I pick up local food to grill each weekend from the Farmers’ Market.

Who is shaking and stirring your ultimate summer cocktail?

Jack at Harwigs and it’s a martini.

How do the Parkers spend a fun and free evening as a family?

Sunset hike on Emerald Mountain. We pack a picnic and head up to the quarry to enjoy a spectacular view!

Deborah Olsen

Ideas for a romantic night out in the valley?

Scott Parker at the historic Chief Theater, a cultural center in Old Town Steamboat Springs

Catch a show at the Chief Theater, then head to Mahogany Ridge for late night Happy Hour. Gotta try the buffalo chicken fingers and the tuna ceviche, it’s one for sharing.

Best live band or performance you’ve ever seen here?

Ben Miller Band at the Chief Theater, 2015.

ACTIVITIES GUIDE

Local Knowledge Expert rafting and fishing guide Jarett Duty offers priceless insider tips on his favorite sports.

Whitewater rafting usually winds down as summer heats up. What are the options for visitors who would still like to experience the sport?

We get this call all the time at the shop in July and August. For the lucky few, we do typically have a two-week window in July on Cross Mountain Canyon on the lower Yampa. It’s a solid Class IV section in an amazingly scenic canyon. When Cross is running, it’s easily one of the best rafting stretches in Colorado. If you miss the window, you’re either floating the Colorado River down by State Bridge (Class II/III) or Tubing the Mighty Yampa!

Fishing on the Yampa River is one of the top summer activities in the valley. What’s the go-to stretch at the height of summer?

To me, it’s as much when as where. My recommendation for fly fishermen is go early, go late, and go after those thunderstorms that drive everyone off the river.

The hatches at dusk are where you’ll find the bigger, smarter fish poking their heads up, gulping bugs before dark. Rainstorms also tend to clear the river of most fishermen and the ever-present tube hatch. For a close-by spot that’s often overlooked, hit the Chuck Lewis section five minutes south of town.

Tubin g

Could you suggest a list of must-fish spots in the Yampa Valley?

Yampa Town, the tailwaters of Stagecoach, the Flat Tops on the Bear River, the upper Elk River on the north, middle and south forks

One of the most enthusiastic fishermen we know is a 12-year-old young man. What are your recommendations for teaching kids to fish?

That may be my son and nephew you are talking about! When kids are young, it’s critical to keep it light, fun and catch some fish. Traditional spin gear on Fetcher Pond is a great way to start. After the kids are hooked, you can transition them to fly fishing. While you’ll be a full-time Sherpa and guide at first, you’ll be amazed at how quickly the kids will be on their own. It won’t be long before you have your own fishing guide and a full-time fly tier filling your box.

g n i p p Sho

What’s your favorite fly for midsummer?

Based on sales in the fly shop, you’d think a pink worm is all anyone needs. My favorite flies for the summer rotate with the hatches. It’s hard to beat the Yellow Sallie hatch in June. Another favorite of mine is the late evening caddis hatch. By mid-July and throughout August, I like throwing tiny tricos mid-morning and then large terrestrials through the day.

Jarett Duty and his brother John have owned and operated Bucking Rainbow Outfitters in Steamboat Springs since 1994. When not on the river fishing, Jarett can be found coaching his children’s spor ts programs.

COME TO TH E SUMM ER BIC NEW OUTDO YCLE OR BAR

“Scuba Steve” Thompsett has been tending bar at local establishments for 17 years. In the summer, when he’s not topping off an ice cold beer for guests at Slopeside Grill and Sunpie’s, he’s busy checking off items on his own “Steamboat Bucket List.”

WITH HANG S IG DOG THE B

1. Riding a dirt bike: Big Red Park northwest of Steamboat Springs is among the area’s most popular dirt bike destinations.

2. Leave the cart behind and walk the golf course – it’s OK if you play badly as long as you have a good time.

LODGING GUIDE

VACATION RENTALS

Local Knowledge Twenty-five year Steamboat Springs resident Jason Edinburg shares tips about camping, kids’ activities, shopping and photography.

Raising a family in the Yampa Valley must be fun; what a huge playground!

Where would you suggest dads go with their kids for an outing?

Courtesy Jason Edinburg

JASON EDINBURG

I love to bring the family canoeing at Pearl Lake or hiking on Rabbit Ears Pass.

For a quicker trip, a bike ride on the Yampa River Core Trail to the Botanic Gardens is great.

With a family, car camping is probably the way to go. How long does it take you to pack up and head out?

We can have the car packed for camping in about an hour, and I have three mustbring items: marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers. Yes, s’mores are more important than the fishing rod when you’re camping with family.

Hiking is visitors’ number-one activity in Steamboat. Where would you suggest parents take their kids for a day hike?

If you have smaller kids, keep hikes short or attitudes can disintegrate quickly.

Close to town there’s Spring Creek, Fish Creek Falls and Sky Line Trail, which has great views of the ski area. My daughter and I also love Soda Creek Trail on Buffalo Pass.

You’re a fabulous photographer! Where would you recommend people go to take classic Steamboat images?

A favorite of mine is looking down Lincoln Avenue from west to east with the ski area in the background – try a slightly cloudy evening for brilliant alpenglow.

The Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo is a fantastic place to capture an iconic Steamboat image (bring a long, fast lens), as is the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo. I’ve taken so many Balloon Rodeo photos, but the event never gets old.

Working at Resort Group, you must have your finger on the pulse of lodging trends. Where’s the most popular place to stay in summertime?

Old Town is where it’s at during the summer. You’re within walking distance of shops, restaurants and galleries. Howelsen Hill is right there for mountain biking, running and hiking, plus the Alpine Slide. The Yampa River is outside your door for fishing and tubing, and lots of summer events take place downtown.

Jason Edinburg has lived in Steamboat since 1991. He is married to Ashley, and they have an 8-year-old daughter, Paloma. Jason is a web developer and photographer who is director of Internet marketing for Resor t Group.

Most of the lodging facilities available through Steamboat Central Reservations have been assigned quality ratings by an independent rating service. Properties are first placed in price categories of Premium ($$$$), Expensive ($$$), Moderate ($$) or Economy ($) based on regular season rates. A random sample of units/rooms from each property is then inspected and assigned a quality rating designation of Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G) or Fair (F). Properties that are not part of Steamboat Central Reservations are not rated. The rating designation assigned represents the overall quality of the furnishings, materials and maintenance. Properties are compared to one another within the same price categories. Standards of quality are Steamboat-based, although national standards are taken into consideration in order to form a baseline. Conditions of the property may have changed since the time of inspection.

OUTDOORS GUIDE

Peel an Orange

Local Knowledge ROSS KIRBY

Courtesy Casey La Rue

As the sales manager for Orange Peel Bicycle Service, Ross Kirby has answered lots of questions about biking in the Yampa Valley. Here are a few tips to get the most of your time on the trails.

If you had to choose a favorite lunch-hour ride, where would it be?

I’d go up Emerald Mountain (above Howelsen Hill). The trails are downtown so they’re easy to access. My ideal ride would start by going up behind the rodeo grounds towards Ricky’s Ridge and Lower Lupine. Head up towards Larry’s and MGM and have a ripping decent down Molly’s into the Fairview neighborhood.

...and discover the way to

Enjoy Better Bikes Moots, Pivot, Transition, Kona, Orbea, Salsa and more

When you can get away for a longer ride, what’s your route of choice?

When I’m looking to log some miles on my day off, I go to Mad Creek or the Dumont Lake route along the Continental Divide into the Steamboat Ski Area.

What do you think of the new downhill bike park at the Steamboat Ski Area?

I think it’s a giant step in the right direction. The evolution of downhill mountain biking is great to see. I would love to see even more dedication to trail building and more options on the existing trails.

Most people in Steamboat have at least one dog. We hear yours is a border collie: known for speed and energy. Does yours go with you when you ride? How do you train a dog to run alongside a biker without either of you getting hurt?

Scooter goes with me on some rides. Certain trails are more dog friendly than others. Now that he’s getting older, I usually only take him on shorter rides: early season at the ski area, short rides on Mad Creek. Riding on a consistent basis helps, and the breed of dog makes it easier. Honestly, I didn’t train Scooter to be a good trail dog. He just came that way.

Do you have a favorite place you like to go for a bike/camping weekend during the hot summer months?

My local spot would be up on Buffalo Pass, where you can camp near the trailheads. The best part of camping on Buff Pass is that you can take single track from the summit into downtown Steamboat Springs.

Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Ross has been a resident of Steamboat Springs for seven years and has been working at Orange Peel Bicycle Service for more than four years. He has a 10-year-old border collie named Scooter. Ross is an avid mountain biker, hockey player, snowboarder and a professional at having fun.

I love to take my real estate clients on the gondola in summertime. It’s a great way to give them an overview of the area, and Sunset Happy Hour is particularly fun and very “Steamboat.” For my clients with kids, I suggest riding the gondola up and mountain biking down. People are amazed you can load your bike on the gondie.

Yampa Street has become “restaurant row” recently. Do you have a favorite place?

Yampa Street has become so festive with the addition of night lighting. You can’t go wrong with either E3 or Aurum with their fantastic outdoor ambiance along the river. If you boogey on up to Lincoln (main street), you can enjoy Mambo’s happy hour on the patio.

term relationships with our customers, so we always put them first!

Between Strings Music Festival and the summer concert series, there’s lots of great music this summer. Any performance that you’re particularly anticipating?

I’m super-excited that Vince Gill will be performing at Strings this year. Our own local, Brent Rowan, shouldn’t be missed either.

There’s an old Steamboat saying that “we come for winter; we stay for summer.” Is our active lifestyle one of the most common reasons people relocate here?

The summer is definitely why I stayed. Our active lifestyle, dryer climate, nottoo-big, not-too-small community, and the sheer beauty of the valley make it nearly impossible to leave.

Mountain bikes, camping gear, ski equipment, rod and reel, horse tack: it seems like a lot of gear! Where do people put it all?

Indeed, Steamboatians have A LOT of gear and we all must deal with the storage of our “stuff.” For those with a garage, the answer is simple. Sans garage, there are ample storage facilities available. The only thing NOT an option is not living the life, which means…gear!

When summer arrives, everyone spends time outdoors.

Outdoor kitchens, decks, balconies - do they all become popular amenities?

Outdoor living spaces are desirable in any form. The more complete these areas are –built-in fire pits, BBQs, patios – the more they draw attention to a home. It’s not as much the notion of “what does the space add to the price” but rather the opportunity to catch the imagination of a potential buyer.

SERVICES GUIDE

Local Knowledge Courtesy Aileen Sandstedt

AILEEN SANDSTEDT

In classic Steamboat Springs fashion, Aileen Sandstedt has her foot in two worlds: horsemanship and real estate. From this distinctive perspective, she provides local insight.

Horseback riding is one of the Chamber’s top-30 recommendations for must-do activities in Steamboat in the summertime. Can you tell us a little about one of your favorite rides?

I love riding my horse, Tavasi, through the aspen grove and beautiful green meadows at CR Summit Riding Club west of Steamboat. The views of Mount Werner, Hahn’s Peak, Sleeping Giant and the Flat Tops are breathtaking.

There’s been an increasing amount of interest in horseback riding in the Yampa Valley; what would you suggest to someone who wants to learn more about the sport?

The best way to learn to ride is through proper instruction – private lessons, arena rides or with a guide on mountain trails. Whether you are a true beginner or accomplished rider, tailored riding programs, both in the saddle and on the ground, provide you with the opportunity to learn to be a rider, not just a passenger.

Be a Rider...Not a Passenger 33255 Creek Summit Lane Steamboat Springs, CO

At what age is a child ready to begin riding?

Looking to purchase a Steamboat Property with the assistance of a Realtor who has a proven “conflict free” Client Advocacy Platform?

Six or seven is a good age to begin structured riding lessons that include horse safety, grooming, nutrition, anatomy and care.

What’s your favorite event at the weekly Pro Rodeo Series at Romick Arena?

Personally I enjoy the barrels and poles, in particular watching the young riders and the look on their faces as they head to the gate.

If someone wants to move here and bring or buy horses, what are some of the characteristics they should be looking for in property?

Look for a property that has the appropriate infrastructure attributes, either already in place or that could be created affordably. Working with a realtor who understands ranch living, topography and water and mineral rights is a benefit to a buyer seeking and evaluating ranch properties.

If you were putting together your own “Steamboat Bucket List,” what would be on it?

It’s a smart choice.

Sunset horseback ride through a forested valley, summit ridge and lush green meadow – and giving gymkhana a whirl.

Aileen Sandstedt and her husband, Kent, moved to Steamboat Springs from Chicago in 2000. The double-sided sign on their office building has CR Summit Riding Club’s logo on one side and their real estate logo on the other – a shor t and simple statement of who they are and what they do.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Local Knowledge LIZ BEISER

Courtesy Liz Beiser

Summer 2015 is Liz Beiser’s first one in the Yampa Valley. She shares a few thoughts about the experience.

Steamboat Springs is getting at least one new zipline this summer. You’ve worked at one elsewhere in the past. What’s your advice for first-timers?

My advice for first timers is to enjoy the views and have fun! It’s such an awesome experience, especially in such a beautiful area, like Steamboat.

Steamboat Lake or Stagecoach Reservoir: which one are you most excited about seeing this summer?

I am most excited to spend my time at Steamboat Lake – every point of the lake has an unbelievable view. My dog, Mia, and I are really excited to get out on the water and have some weekend camping trips by the lake.

We know you love to hike with your dog. Friends have probably been giving you plenty of advice on the many great hiking trails in the Yampa Valley. Where are you planning to head first?

All the trails are so beautiful here in their different ways. My absolute favorite is Red Dirt Trail north of Steamboat Springs. I’ve been patiently waiting for the snow on Rabbit Ears Pass to melt so I can take the pup on the trails there! I am most excited to plan a weekend trip and hike Mount Zirkel.

In addition to being known as Ski Town USA and Bike Town USA, Steamboat was also named Dog Town USA a couple years ago. Can you tell us a little about your dog and what she thinks of life here?

We are Steamboat’s only local retail resource completely dedicated to kids. We have the stuff your kids will want to wear, the place they want to have their birthday, and the things they want to do.

Clothing Toys & Gifts Salon

Mia is a 7-month-old Lab mix, and Steamboat is the best place for a dog. The atmosphere here is so positive and everyone is so friendly. All of the trails are dog friendly, and Mia always meets new doggie friends.

Arcade

As an employee at In Celebration of Kids, a downtown retail establishment devoted solely to kids, you’ve got a unique perspective on Old Town. What is it about downtown that makes it a must-see stop for visitors?

Cafe

Downtown Steamboat gives off a great feeling – there’s always something going on. The food is amazing anywhere you go. I love all of the little shopping boutiques but being an outdoorsy type I love Straightline and Ski Haus, great places to get all the outdoor essentials.

Bakery

Besides visiting In Celebration of Kids, what other activities do you recommend for families with kids?

I would recommend hiking up Spring Creek Trail – very kid and family friendly.

The Yampa River Core Trail, a paved trail that goes through town, is beautiful for a little bike ride.

Parties

Liz Beiser is from Alton, Illinois. She moved to Steamboat Springs in early November 2014 and works at In Celebration of Kids. When she’s not with the kids, she spends ever y hour she can outside hiking with her puppy, Mia.

Ten great reasons to visit the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boat in winter

SUMMER ON THE MOUNTAIN

Life at The Porches...

“We have many fond memories of family gatherings and holidays... the friendships we’ve made and community events have made living at The Porches a unique experience.”
