Steamboat Springs
Steamboat Springs, nestled in Colorado’s beautiful Yampa Valley, is a truly remarkable community to live in. The town, with an elevation of 6,695 feet, received its name in the mid-1800’s when fur trappers ventured over the Continental Divide and heard the gushing sound of mineral springs, reminding them
of the sound of steamboats. Originally settled as a gold mining, coal mining and
ranching community, it’s now known for its quality of life a four seasons recreation capital. Though called Ski Town USA and known for its world-class skiing facilities, Steamboat Springs was originally a summer resort. Visitors would
come in the summer months to take advantage of the many natural hot springs
and vast hunting and fishing opportunities. Today, summer activities span the
spectrum with two championship golf courses, indoor-outdoor tennis center,
endless biking, kayaking, hiking, snow-mobiling, horse-back riding, fly-fishing, white-water rafting, tubing and so much more available right from town.
With a current population just over 10,000 residents, Steamboat Springs doubled its population over the past two decades but still retains its small-town
values and ambiance. The town lies against the western ridge of the Continental Divide and is nearly surrounded by National Forest and Wilderness areas.
The Yampa River, whose headwaters begin in the Flat Tops Wilderness, flows
through downtown Steamboat Springs and eventually meets the Green River
in Dinosaur National Monument. Two ski areas, four state parks, hot springs,
lakes, rivers and endless trail systems cater to a plethora of outdoor activities.
Steamboat Springs has an excellent public school system and several private
schools with reasonably sized classes. The local community college offers opportunities for continuing education and two-year Associate of Arts degrees.
There are two elementary schools (K-5), one middle school (6-8), one charter
school (K-5) and one high school (9-12). All offer the latest in materials and
technology to serve the best interests and development of local youth.
