Traveling to Steamboat Springs in September:
Since my cousin and I visited Steamboat Springs during a road trip, we drove a little less than seven hours south from Cody, Wyoming. Please note that there aren’t many spots to stop and explore from Cody to Steamboat Springs.
The drive from Cody to Steamboat is absolutely beautiful and even though you are on the Interstate for most of the drive, you do go through some small towns every few hours. Therefore, please fill up on gas whenever you get the chance to.
If you aren’t already on a road trip out west and want to visit Steamboat Springs, Colorado, I recommend either booking a flight into Steamboat Springs Airport or Denver International Airport.
Since I was flying home to Newark Airport from Colorado and my cousin was heading back to Fort Lauderdale in Florida, it was easiest for us to drive three hours east and fly home from Denver since the flights were cheaper and more direct. (We could’ve flown home from Steamboat Springs, but it would’ve been more expensive and we also would have had a layover in Denver anyway.)
No matter where you fly into, you will need a rental car to get around Steamboat Springs and the surrounding areas in Colorado. (I recommend booking your rental car in advance like we did.)
(Click here if you are planning to road trip around the United States and want to rent an RV.)
Steamboat Springs does offer a free bus service called Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) that runs throughout the downtown area to the ski resort where skiers and mountain bikers can easily access the trails from the Steamboat Gondola.
GO Alpine is the only taxi service that runs in Steamboat Springs. If you are looking for a taxi driver to take you somewhere, it is best that you call ahead of time to get a ride. Uber and Lyft services are also available in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Where to Stay in Steamboat Springs in the Fall:
During our fall visit to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, we stayed in a lovely mountain retreat, which was also a ski chalet condo that we found on Airbnb.
I absolutely adored staying in this beautiful and cozy condo that is located only five minutes by car from the ski resort.
We had a large kitchen and living room, a nice fireplace, a balcony with stunning mountain views and more! Click here to book this beautiful condo in Steamboat.
(What is also great about this stunning condo is that it is located along the free SST bus route and the complex that its situated in also has a hot tub for communal use.)
Hotels in Steamboat Springs, Colorado:
Luxury: Highmark Steamboat Springs by Mountain Resorts
Boutique: The Bristol by Magnuson Worldwide
Mid-Budget: The Steamboat Grand
Budget: Steamboat Mountain Lodge
Rentals: Airbnb or Vrbo
Where to Eat in Steamboat Springs:
Seedz Café (Breakfast): During our two days in Steamboat Springs, we enjoyed breakfast at Seedz Café one morning and it was amazing.
This adorable organic café offers delicious breakfast and lunch dishes that range from pancakes to scrambles and specialty bowls to salads. The morning we went to Seedz just so happened to be a Sunday and brunch was going on.
I got a delicious peach mimosa and my cousin had a bloody Mary. For food, I savored the delicious chocolate and puffed quinoa pancakes (pictured above) and my cousin had the breakfast burrito.
Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria (Mexican): On our first night in Steamboat Springs, we were recommended to try Vasqueros, which offers authentic Mexican food.
During our evening at Vasqueros, we sat on their rooftop, which was perfect during a fall evening and it offered beautiful views of Steamboat Springs.
We also had refreshing margaritas and I savored the delicious chicken and shrimp fajitas. (My cousin had a special.) Everything was delicious and I couldn’t recommend this great Mexican restaurant more to those visiting Steamboat.
Mazzola’s Italian Restaurant (Italian): We were craving Italian food on our second night in Steamboat Springs, so we enjoyed a lovely dinner at Mazzola’s Italian Restaurant.
We both got a glass of red wine and I savored the cioppino while my cousin had the vodka shrimp dish. Everything was delicious!
The Barley Tap and Tavern (Drinks): A great place to enjoy some drinks at night in downtown Steamboat Springs is at The Barley Tap and Tavern.
At this fun bar, you could enjoy Colorado craft beer, cocktails, draft wine and appetizers while watching a game or socializing with friends.
What to do in Steamboat Springs, Colorado during Fall:
Hike Fish Creek Falls:
One of the most popular, scenic and best hikes to do during a visit to Steamboat Springs in the fall is Fish Creek Falls.
This ¼-mile to 6.5-mile hike in Steamboat Springs (depending on which trail you want to do) is considered moderate and it allows you to walk through a wonderland of aspen trees, admire breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains that showcase the best of fall colors and sit by the beautiful waterfalls that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated.
My cousin and I only hiked to the base of the falls, but it is totally worth it to go a little further and hike to the second waterfall, which is a little over a mile from the base.
If you are looking to hike to the Long Lake, it is 6.5 miles one way and you won’t be disappointed! We truly enjoyed hiking Fish Creek Falls and the weather was perfect.
Please note that Fish Creek Falls is a 10-minute drive from downtown Steamboat and it will cost you $5 USD per day to park your car at the trailhead’s parking lot. Fish Creek Falls is also open all year long from 6am to 10pm MST.
Best Hikes in Steamboat Springs during the Fall:
- Uranium Mine (3.1 miles round trip, moderate to difficult trail)
- Hot Springs Trail to Strawberry Park Hot Springs (5.7 miles round trip, easy trail)
- Yampa River Core Trail (7.5 miles, paved multi-use easy trail)
Relax at Strawberry Park Hot Springs:
A must-do during a Steamboat Springs weekend during the fall is relax at Strawberry Park Hot Springs. Seriously, these hot springs are absolutely beautiful and you could spend hours there!
In addition to the springs, Strawberry Park also has restrooms, a teepee and heated cabin for changing as well as picnic tables (there is a limited concession stand). You could also enjoy a nice massage service at Strawberry Park Hot Springs!
It takes a little less than 20 minutes to drive from downtown Steamboat to Strawberry Park. Sweet Pea Tours and The Hot Springs Shuttle transport people from the heart of town to the hot springs.
Overall, there are several natural warm pools at Strawberry Park Hot Springs. These springs contain healing properties that alleviate muscle, bone and deep tissue pain, so it is a popular place for hikers and skiers to gravitate towards after a long day on the mountain.
Strawberry Park Hot Springs are a year-round destination and it is open every day from 10am to 10pm MST. Children are not allowed at the hot springs once it gets dark. (The springs are a great place to admire fall colors in Steamboat Springs.)
This great park also has lodging where you could camp and glamp! Anyone lodging at Strawberry Park can also use the hot springs in the middle of the night from 8pm to 10am MST.
I went to the hot springs by myself while my cousin stayed in town and it was so nice and relaxing. I loved all of the beautiful foliage that surrounded me at Strawberry Park. There is a reason why Colorado is known as “Colorful Colorado”.
(Another cool hot spring spot that is popular in Steamboat Springs is Old Town Hot Springs. It includes eight hot spring-fed pools, waterslides, fitness facilities and more. It is also a hop, skip and a jump from downtown Steamboat!)
Participate in the Steamboat Brew Trail:
If you are a craft beer lover like myself, I highly recommend participating in the Steamboat Brew Trail. This 2.7-mile trail along the Yampa River makes its way into downtown Steamboat Springs and you could either walk or bike it!
Unfortunately, my cousin and I didn’t have time to participate in the Steamboat Brew Trail, but I totally will do it next time.
Colorado is known for its renowned beer scene, so you will not be disappointed when you visit any brewery in the state!
Below are the breweries along the Steamboat Brew Trail:
- Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill
- Mountain Tap Brewery
- Steamboat Whiskey Company (Distillery)
- Storm Peak Brewing Company
- Butcherknife Brewing Company
Go Shopping Downtown:
Another great thing to do during a beautiful fall day in Steamboat Springs is walk through the downtown area and shop.
There is a plethora of souvenir shops, boutiques, luxury stores and so much more along Lincoln Avenue, which is the main street that goes through the downtown area!
During your time in Steamboat Springs, also check out the Steamboat Art Museum, The Tread of Pioneers Museum and if you’re feeling even more adventurous, do The Crooked Key, which is an escape room.
Horseback Ride through the Aspens:
A trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado during fall would not be complete without horseback riding through colorful aspen trails. (My cousin and I unfortunately didn’t have time to horseback ride either, but if we were staying an extra day, it definitely would’ve been on our itinerary!)
Horseback riding in Steamboat Springs allows you to experience how cowboys traveled through the Yampa Valley back in the day.
This experience is perfect for every riding level and some of the local ranches that offer some of the best horseback riding in Steamboat Springs at are Vista Verde Guest Ranch in Clark, Lucky 8 Ranch in Oak Creek, Saddleback Ranch in Steamboat Springs, CR Summit Ranch & Riding Center in Steamboat Springs and Del’s Traingle 3 Ranch in Clark.
Optional Day Trip – Rocky Mountain National Park:
A trip to Colorado would not be complete without visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. I had the opportunity to visit Rocky Mountain National Park from Estes Park during my 6-day Colorado road trip in November 2019 and it was absolutely breathtaking.
I visited Rocky Mountain National Park in late fall, but there was snow on the ground. Even though Colorado’s weather could change drastically within days, if you get the chance to see the National Park during peak foliage season, you will be in for one real treat!
You could easily do a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park from Steamboat Springs. The Grand Lake Entrance (west entrance) to the park is located an hour and 45 minutes from downtown Steamboat and you could enjoy some of Colorado’s highest mountain peaks in the area.
I also recommend checking out Grand Lake itself and exploring the downtown area there.
