The Yampa River and the Yampa River Core Trail run right through downtown, making a stroll from one end of the city to the other easy to do. Along the way, you'll have access to a variety of shops, galleries and restaurants, plus panoramic water and mountain views. If you get tired or want to follow the river trail farther, you can hop on the free bus to return to your starting point.

Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) offers free bus service throughout the city and from the downtown area to Steamboat Ski Resort, where skiers and mountain bikers can access trails via the Steamboat Gondola. The complimentary bus system operates three fixed routes year-round with stops approximately every 20 minutes, although there may be some modifications to the schedule during the summer season. See the bus map for details on available routes and schedules.
