I have been many times to Steamboat however my friend visiting from FL had not so I took her to the Strawberry Springs Hot Springs, we did the 4th of July Bash (with Papa John Gros and a Drone Show) at Steamboat Ski square, went the Botanic Gardens, did the easy hike to the Fish Creek Falls, went out to Steamboat Lake for the easy 1.1 mile Tombstone Trail (great views of Hans Peak and Steamboat Lake) and then the Steamboat gondola ride for the Sunset Happy Hour with live music - had a fun time. My only complaint was AFTER we booked the room we then had to verify ourselves and that was a fricken hastle --- and you have a hell of lotta nerve to take our reservation AND MONEY before that task. :-(
