Steamboat summer activities

Colorado River Runs

If you hadn’t quite expended all of your energy during the ski season, Colorado River Runs is a great option. With options to go to the Colorado River for a more family friendly, sedate experience, or the Eagle River for that white knuckle ride you get from roiling rapids, you can be sure to find something suited to your disposition.

Steamboat Flyfisher

There is almost no better way of spending a lazy summer day than wading through a river with a fly fishing rod in hand, waiting for that hit of adrenaline you get when hooking a fish. With a range of locations available, a vast array of experienced guides will show you the best technique as well as secret spots in the hope you’ll catch that monster.

Haymaker Golf

There can be no better sport to play which allows you to soak in the beauty of the surrounding area than golf. The Haymaker Golf Course is a public golf course, affording its combatants beautiful views of the surrounding valleys. Be careful though, the front 9 allows you to spend a bit of time looking around, but you need full concentration to compete with the back 9.

Steamboat Coaster

If you're staying in Steamboat over the summer, check out one of our favourite activities, the mountain coaster near the Christie Peak Express lift. Clocking up over 6000ft, it's the longest mountain coaster in North America, taking riders 2600ft uphill, then 3680ft downhill over 420ft of vertical with waves, dips, turns and 360 degree circles along the way.
