Things To Do
Fish Creek Falls
Short and longer hikes with beautiful views! We recommend the paved overlook trail for a quick walk to see the waterfall, or the uranium mine trail for a nice hike with great views that ends at the scenic river. Remember to bring $5 cash for parking.
Howelsen Hill Ski Area
Take the chairlift up to see views from the iconic Howelsen Hill, where many olympians have trained since 1915!
Yampa River Tubing
Tube the Yampa River! This is a really fun activity. We went through Backdoor Sports on Yampa St. and had a great time.
Scenic Gondola Ride
Our ceremony will take place on the top of the mountain, so you'll already have one chance to take a scenic gondola ride to take in all the views of Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley. If you want to spend more time on the mountain another day, consider going back up for hiking, mountain biking, or just drinking on the patio! The resort has sunset happy hours on Thursdays and Sundays as well.
Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs
A fun and relaxing activity for daytime or evening.
Restaurants & Shopping
Steamboat Springs has lots of great restaurants, and almost all of them offer great happy hour deals for food and drinks! Some of the timeless favorites you'll have to stop at are Old Town Pub (OTP) and Slopeside Grill. Downtown Steamboat has lots of great shopping and art galleries to check out, too.
