Steamboat Springs comes alive in the summer months, and there’s a whole world of activities for you and your besties to enjoy as you celebrate your perfect bachelorette weekend in Steamboat Springs.
- Hiking and Mountain Biking. If you have an active and adventurous group, you can explore scenic hiking trails like Fish Creek Falls or the Yampa River Core Trail. Or experience Steamboat’s breathtaking landscape on bike, with over 500 miles of singletrack mountain bike trails in the area.
- Outdoor Yoga and Picnic. Schedule a group yoga session to start your day off right, then enjoy a picturesque picnic among the gardens, ponds and sculptures in Yampa River Botanic Park.
- Fun on the Yampa River. In the warmer months, tubing down the Yampa River is a really fun activity, with no prior experience required! The float can be as long or as short as you’d like (it typically takes 1-3 hours and it covers a 2-mile stretch of the Yampa), and there are plenty of riverside stops like parks, restaurants, and bars along the way to make it even more fun. While you can do this as a self guided activity, we highly recommend using Backdoor Sports, as they will provide the tubes and transportation. More info can be found here!
