Favorite outdoor activities among visitors are a hike to scenic Fish Creek Falls, followed by a mountain bike ride or hike through the surrounding parks and forests. On cool summer nights, everyone goes to Strings Music Festival, a summer concert series, or to the rodeo, which draws the future stars of the rodeo circuit.
Hot-air balloons also populate Steamboat Springs’ landscape. Each summer, the town hosts its Hot Air Balloon Rodeo, when a multitude of colorful balloons rises over the valley, offering riders incredible views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.
