Touch a Truck is a FREE community event for everyone.

- FREE! Spectator Event: Steamboat Marathon - starts at 7:30am - Sunday, June 7th
Selected by Runner's World as one of the "10 Most Scenic Marathons of the Year" in February 1996, the Steamboat Marathon begins at the historic Hahn's Peak Village (elevation 8,128 ft.), follows a paved country road down the Elk River Valley, and finishes at the courthouse in downtown Steamboat Springs (elevation 6,728 ft.). If you are interested in participating in the Steamboat Marathon, more information is available at http://www.steamboatsummer.com.
- Soak in Steamboat's Hot Springs
There are over 150 mineral springs in the Steamboat area! Strawberry Park Hot Springs is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a full day of recreation. Local Tip: Strawberry Park is offering a Carload Special on Thursday night, May 29th - $25 per carload (must have at least 3 or more people per carload).
- Hike the Fish Creek Falls Trail
The 283-foot Fish Creek Falls is one of the most popular attractions in Steamboat Springs. It's located close to downtown, and is a paved road to the trailhead. It is considered a beginner trail to the falls, but becomes more advanced if you continue on as the trail climbs in elevation above the falls. The area near the Continental Divide offers access to several lakes and many subalpine meadows.
- Experience Mountain Golf
Located 5 miles west of town, the Steamboat Golf Club course borders the Yampa River, featuring beautiful views of the valley and the Steamboat Ski Area. This golf club is family oriented & affordable! Tee times available daily from 10am-5pm. Call (970) 879-4295 for the latest golf specials!
- Paddle the Yampa River
Looking for whitewater? Steamboat has it! The Steamboat Springs Whitewater Park is a Class II section of the Yampa River, over 2 miles long through downtown Steamboat. The park begins with a slalom course followed by several excellent rapids that provide great surfing opportunities. This time of year, the Yampa has ideal river boarding levels!
