Tucked within northern Colorado’s Yampa Valley is the laidback mountain town of Steamboat Springs. “The Boat,” as the locals call it, is a popular destination for skiing in the winter — but its namesake mineral waters draw spa seekers year-round. Legend has it that the town’s early French settlers heard the gurgling waters and mistook the sound for a chugging steamboat ship.
Nowadays you’ll find locals, hikers, and visiting weekenders alike enjoying the geothermal hot springs’ therapeutic properties. Located seven miles outside of downtown, Strawberry Park Hot Springs is open for the summer, though reservations are required.
