Howelsen Hill Explorative with the City of Steamboat Springs Staff

Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Allow the local municipal experts to show you around the impressive natural and built infrastructure of Steamboat Springs. The City of Steamboat Springs will host a guided tour of some key features of the area starting off with the iconic, locally operated ski hill and rodeo grounds, located near the historic downtown area. Ride the chairlift to the top of the hill to explore the inner workings of the ski jump structure and learn about its rich history. While at the top, city staff will share information about soil movement and the remediation efforts undertaken to preserve these recreational lands. The tour will continue with a visit to the Sulphur Cave, a designated National Natural Landmark. From there, enjoy a walking tour to Lithia Springs and Black Sulphur Springs, where you'll hear about the history, mineral composition, and unique features of these natural wonders.

Equipment Needed: Participants should dress for variable weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. Bring own sunscreen, bug spray, hat, water, etc.
