Hiking Steamboat Springs
Hiking Steamboat and the surrounding area puts you in gorgeous sprawling playgrounds in the adjacent Medicine Bow and Routt National Forests.
WYOMING TRAIL LOOP FROM Dumont Lake
A gorgeous 35 minute drive southeast from Steamboat Springs along Rabbit Ears Pass takes you to a wildflower haven around Dumont Lake in the Routt National Forest.
Dumont Lake is a gorgeous alpine stretch of water popular for day trips and overnight campers as well. The end of June and early July appear to be peak times for wildflower enjoyment. The adjacent Dumont Lake Campground is icing on the cake.
The 6.8 mile long moderate hike along the Wyoming Trail Loop only climbs 784 feet and takes you on past the lake. Since you’ll start hiking at over 9,500 feet, this is perfect for summer hiking around the first of July.
You’ll take in great views of Rabbit Ears along the second half of the hike. By then, be aware you’ll also be on an access road with SUV traffic. Many prefer to start this hike counter-clockwise to up the road first.
PRO TIP: Dumont Lake is also popular for fishing, mountain biking, and multi-backpacking trips.
How to reach the trailhead: Drive 21 miles southeast on US-40. Turn left on Buffalo Park Trail and after 900 feet, turn right onto County Road 199. In 1.3 miles, prepare to park your car near the trailhead for the Wyoming Trail Loop.
Colorado trails like these around Dumont Lake show off all kinds of wildflowers in summer in Steamboat
Rabbit Ears Peak Trail
Also departing near Dumont Lake, begin your hike to Rabbit Ears Peak early in the day since you may have little or no shade. This out and back trail is less than 6 miles and climbs about 1,000’ in elevation up to 10,388’.
In winter, this is a snowshoeing wonderland, and in summer, wildflowers abound. Hike to Rabbit Ears Peak during the week to avoid a crowded trail.
How to reach the trailhead: Drive 21 miles southeast on US-40, Rabbits Ears Pass. Turn left on Buffalo Park Trail and after 900 feet, turn right onto County Road 199. In 1.3 miles, prepare to park your car near the trailhead for the Wyoming Trail Loop.
Hiking the Windy Ridge Trail near Steamboat is gorgeous in Colorado Fall
Windy Ridge Trail
This Steamboat Springs hike is also found just off Rabbits Ears Pass and is a good first hike to acclimate to Colorado altitude.
You’ll hike 5.5 miles out and back on this easy hike with 738’ in elevation change.
The first half of the trail meanders through forest and crosses over a creek multiple times. The second half follows a ridge and yes it can be windy.
But the sweeping vistas along Windy Ridge Trail are worth it, especially in fall when the Aspens turn to gold.
Near the end, the trail enters a small forest again and ends at a rock outcropping/Indian quartzite quarry. Climb up safely for another great view.
In the fall during hunting season, you’d be wise to wear hunter’s orange or other bright colors.
This is a well maintained trail, great for any level hiker. You may encounter horseback riders or mountain bikers.
Pro Tip: Roads leading to this trailhead are subject to seasonal closures.
How to reach the trailhead: From Steamboat, head out on US-40 East, turn right on Forest Road 19, then left on Forest Road 238 in Grand County.
Fall Colors are everywhere on Flash of Gold Trail off Rabbit Ears Pass near Steamboat
A great hike from Steamboat Springs, plus it’s close to Strawberry Hot Springs
FLash of Gold
This moderate hike in Steamboat Springs has something for everyone. You can hike this out and back for a total of 10.5 miles and 1250 feet elevation gain.
Or, join up with Bear Tree Ridge Trail and make it a shorter 7.7 mile loop.
This meandering trail through the forest showcases aspen groves, stunning far-off views, and pine forests. Carry your bear spray just in case.
This trail is popular for bikers and horseback riding too, so keep your ears peeled and give way as needed. If you don’t care for sharing trails with mountain bikers, we suggest not choosing this trail.
Since many of the trails in this neck of the woods are used by hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders, it's essential to know right of way etiquette for each user. In general, horses always have the right of way, followed by hikers, then by bikers.*
*But if a biker is careening downhill, while inconvenient, kindly step aside for them so they don’t fly over their handlebars stopping for you.
How to reach the trailhead: From Steamboat Springs: Travel 4 miles north of Steamboat Springs on Routt County Road #36 (Strawberry Park Rd), then 3.6 miles east on Routt County Road #38 (Buffalo Pass Rd).
CoHH Tip: Dry Lake Campground is also right here near the trailhead.
At the base of Lower Fish Creek Falls, a popular hike in Steamboat
Fish Creek Falls
You’ll love this waterfall hike in Steamboat Springs just five miles from town. Heads up, it’s a popular one is summer, so go during mid-week if you can. Snowshoeing is good here too.
NOTE: $5 parking fee
A more challenging hike, due to steep elevation gain of 1450 feet in 2.35 miles, the hike to Fish Creek Falls is a workout.
While the lower falls are more impressive, the crowds will thin a bit headed to the Upper Falls and you’ll love the switchbacks through the forest and aspen groves, as well as Mule Ears flowers in summer.
In fall, the changing colors are a treat, and in winter enjoy an iced over waterfall. Wear spikes and take poles.
The climbing really begins after the lower falls.
Pro Tip: The trail thins at the last bit and you will scramble for a second.
Beware this trail has a lot of trip hazards due to tree roots androcks. Watch your step and and it’s wise to wear hiking boots and hiking shoes. My husband rolled his ankle coming back down the switchbacks.
COHH TIP: The impressive Lower Fish Creek Falls can be viewed from a stroller / wheelchair-friendly path as well. Then for those wanting to see the waterfall up close and personal, continue to the base of Lower Fish Creek Falls. Cross the bridge and dip your feet in the creek. Great spot for a picnic.
How to reach the trailhead: From Steamboat Springs, head north on third street, then right on Fish Creek Falls Rd for 4 miles to the Trailhead. Roads leading to this trailhead are subject to seasonal closures.
The view from Mad Creek Barn in Steamboat Springs
Mad Creek
Mad Creek Trail
This moderate Steamboat hiking trail offers deep canyons, old mining cabins, aspen groves and great views all around.
Enjoy hiking 8.9 miles out and back while gaining 1354 feet in elevation. You will find the historic barn 2 miles in to the hike.
Dip your feet into the cold Mad Creek, but keep your eyes peeled for Moose.
Great fall Aspen hike too.
This multi-use trail provides access Mount Zirkel Wilderness area.
Heads Up: Mad Creek Trail is closed annually between Dec 1 - Apr 15 to protect winter range areas for elk populations.
How to reach the trailhead: From Steamboat Springs, go west on US Hwy 40 to County Road 129. Trailhead is just off 129 to the east. Just 12 minutes from town.
Hiking up to Hahns Peak in Steamboat Springs in early Fall
Hahns Peak Trail
A hard hike, but it’s a short hike in Steamboat Springs.
You’ll hike about 3.6 miles out and back, BUT count on steep elevation gain in short amount of time (1410’).
Hahn’s Peak Trail is a local favorite and a top favorite of ours as well.
You’ll start climbing at 9392 feet and enjoy switchbacks through the forest before spying Hahn’s Peak again.
Going to Steamboat Springs in Fall? Beautiful colors await, especially atop the old fire lookout watch tower at the peak.
Hahns Peak Lookout was constructed by the Forest Service between 1908 – 1912, after the gold and silver mines had already busted.
Hahns Peak Lookout was one of the first officially funded lookouts constructed in Colorado and was part of a network of fire lookouts that worked together to precisely locate wildfires in the area.
This is a fabulous hike in the Routt National Forest with breathtaking views.
In summer, head up early for your best bet of rewarding panoramic shots, and less worrying about incoming weather.
You’re sure to see Colorado wildflowers in summer and you might meet mountain bikers.
Again, one of the best hikes in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
PRO TIP: Once you are above the treeline, you will be exposed, so pay attention to the weather. Brush up on Colorado hiking tips if you’re visiting from out-of-state.
How to reach the Hahns Peak trailhead: From Steamboat Springs, go west on US-40 to County Rd 129. Drive north for 29 miles to Columbine. Passing the General Store on your left, turn right onto the dirt jeep road called FDR 490. Respect private property! Drive 1.8 miles and turn left at the fork. At the next fork, turn left again and park. It will take you about 50 minutes or more from Steamboat.
Gold Creek Lake on the Zirkel Circle in Steamboat
Mount Zirkel Loop Trail
Now this is our all time favorite hike in Steamboat Springs.
You’ll log 10.6 miles on the challenging Mount Zirkel Loop Trail while gaining 2,444 feet in elevation. This hike is hard, so know what you are signing up for.
Starting at 8,393 feet high, give yourself four or five hours for this stunning loop hike that takes you by two lakes: Gold Creek Lake and Gilpin Lake.
The Zirkel Wilderness is one of the best areas for enjoying hikes in Steamboat Springs. Enjoy all the wildflowers along the Mount Zirkel Loop Trail, as well as river crossings, waterfalls, and stunning sections through pine forests and Aspens.
Gilpin Lake on Zirkel Circle Loop Trail
PRO TIPS: Hike the Mount Zirkel Loop Trail in counter clockwise fashion for the most enjoyable hike that showcases the mountain vistas. Pack snacks and at least 3L of water per person. Bring bug spray. Keep an eye out for wildlife.
Be prepared for your hike with our Colorado Day Hike Tips.
Don’t forget a rain jacket so you are ready for Colorado’s quickly changing weather.
We wore our rain jackets in a downpour the last two miles of the hike.

Hot Springs in Steamboat Springs

This is our very favorite hot springs in Steamboat.

Hippie hot springs along yampa river
Just across the way from Old Town Hot Springs, this grouping of pools along the Yampa River banks receives their warmth from the runoff of the geothermal waters from Old Town.
And YES! You can soak here for free. But don’t expect the water to be much warmer than 100 degrees.
Opt for a two-for-one experience and tube down the Yampa from Rotary Park, stop in these Hippie Hot Springs, then continue on your way.
You’ll find Hippie Hot Springs at 125 Lincoln Ave. Look for signs for Dr. Rich Weiss Park and you’ll see the naturally heated pools ringed by rocks.
Radium Hot Springs along the Colorado River
Radium Hot Springs
This natural hot springs is NOT in Steamboat Springs but totally worth the road trip. You’ll hop off the beaten path just outside of Kremmling, south of Steamboat.
Sitting right on the Colorado River, the all-natural Radium Hot Springs is worth the short, sometimes steep, hiking adventure when you have time for a detour on your way to another adventure in Colorado.
Obviously, the fastest way to reach Radium Hot Springs is by raft or kayak. This is a popular stop for rafters on the Colorado.

More Things to Do in Steamboat Springs
While we’ve talked mostly about hiking to waterfalls and lakes and dipping into hot springs, there are many more noteworthy fun things to do in Steamboat Springs. Yampa River tubing, watching the Rodeo, cruising downhill on your mountain bike on Steamboat’s famous ski runs, and fishing spots will galore will keep you coming back for more in this charming Rocky mountain town.
Yampa River Tubing
In the summer, good old fashioned tubing down the river shouldn’t be missed.
You can rent tubes, or save a bunch of money by bringing your own, if you think you’ll use them again for future floating adventures.
Independent tubers who can figure out their own transportation using two cars should plan to park one vehicle at the put-in and one at the pull out spot. Pay attention to parking limits, reading signage to make sure your vehicles are legally parked long enough for your shuttle trip to return.
Fletcher Park is a popular put in spot for Yampa River tubing. You’ll end at the 13th Street Bridge or at Howelsen Hill. Wear sunscreen, hats, and water shoes to protect your feet while floating down the river. Bring cold beverages in an attached floating cooler.
Pro Rodeo Series
Visiting Steamboat over a Friday, Saturday or July 4th? Don’t miss the Pro Rodeo in summer.
The rodeo starts with BBQ and music at 6:00 PM followed by the performance at 7:30 PM. Witness competitive roping and barrel racing and encourage your kids to get in on the Calf and Ram Scrambles.
The rodeo clown may even wow you with stunts of his own.
Mountain Biking
If you love downhill mountain biking then the Steamboat Bike Park is the best place to be. The Christie Peak Express Chairlift will carry you and your bike up the mountain for some high altitude adrenaline runs down the hill.
Paddleboarding
Our favorite spot for paddleboarding was Pearl Lake State Park. Learn more camping there down below.
CoHH Tip: Bring your own SUP. ISLE inflatable paddle boards are the most versatile paddle boards you can travel and paddle anywhere with — so you can get on the lake when you want from sunup to sundown.
Don’t care for your own paddleboard that you can use sunrise to sunset? The Paddleboard Adventure Company runs a kiosk at the old boat ramp on Pearl Lake. Rent paddleboards, canoes, kayaks and the humongous SUPSquatch on their time. Cash preferred but cc taken with a small fee. Learn more about camping at Pearl Lake below.

Waking up to a quiet, wakeless lake, campers who love to hop on their paddleboard aim for a shoreline campsite. If those are all reserved, camp on the ridge above, enjoy the views, and put in at the newer boat ramp.
CoHH Tip: Bring your own SUP. ISLE inflatable paddle boards are the most versatile paddle boards you can travel and paddle anywhere with — so you can get on the lake when you want from sunup to sundown.
Don’t care to own a paddleboard? The Paddleboard Adventure Company runs a kiosk at the old boat ramp on Pearl Lake; there you can rent paddleboards, canoes, kayaks and the humongous SUPSquatch. Cash preferred but cc taken with a small fee.
Steamboat Lake State Park
At Steamboat Lake, you’ll find nearly 200 campsites with outstanding views or offer shade from Aspens or Evergreens. Some sites are near the shoreline.
This is also a great lake for SUP paddle boards.
