A Steamboat Springs lifestyle combines nature, recreation and culture

steamboat springs lifestyle

There's a reason more than 12,000 people call this beautiful Colorado mountain town home and why even more choose to have a Steamboat vacation home. We enjoy such a unique combination of beauty, outdoor recreation and culture that you can only find here. Here are just a few elements that make up the Steamboat Springs lifestyle:

Nature

Search "Steamboat Springs photos" and you will see what we mean, but nothing beats the experience of living and breathing that beauty in person every day. Towering mountain peaks, lush forests and valleys, rushing rivers: our little corner of the world pretty much sums up what it means to live in the Colorado mountains.

Recreation

It goes without saying that we have some of the best skiing and boarding in the world here, thanks to the Steamboat Ski Resort (the mountain is open through April, so there's still time to visit this season). Beyond the slopes, and throughout the year, outdoor enthusiasts have nearly endless options: fishing, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides, snowshoeing and much more.

Healthy living

That combination of fresh air, beauty and recreation also encourages our populace to stay healthy. The Livability website rates cities nationwide for various healthy living factors, and here's how Steamboat stacks up: 88 percent follow a healthy lifestyle, 87 percent are nonsmokers, 86 percent are a healthy weight and 84 percent have health insurance. Not too shabby.

Arts and culture

Steamboat attracts artists from all disciplines, and our galleries display incredible works from both local and global artists. The annual Plein Air Paint event, hosted by the Steamboat Art Museum, encourages painters to get out into nature to capture the beauty of the Yampa Valley (the 2017 event will be held in September). Music lovers, literary enthusiasts and history buffs can always find a show or a session to enjoy in Steamboat, and this list highlights just a few of those events.

The good life

Food, wine, beer, coffee, tea: Whatever your pleasure, you will find ample opportunities to celebrate it in Steamboat. From the annual Steamboat Wine Festival to a plethora of dining experiences, you will find your indulgence of choice here.
