Top Nature in Steamboat Springs

I think the restrooms can get pretty messy, especially on weekends. So maybe keep some wipes on hand for a fresher experience!

I recommend starting your hike by 8 am to snag parking and enjoy the falls without the crowds. By 10, it seemed super busy!

Don’t forget to hydrate! I thought I'd be fine, but the hot water can really sap your energy. Bring a water bottle to keep yourself refreshed.

Check the weather before heading out. I thought it’d be fine, but it started raining and it gets chilly! Bring a light jacket, just in case.

If you can, visit during weekdays, especially around 3 PM. The crowds are way lighter and you can really enjoy the peace and quiet.

I recommend wearing flip-flops or water shoes. The paths can get pretty muddy and slippery, and you’ll want comfy footwear for walking around.

i suggest visiting in the morning around 9 am when it's cooler and the flowers are at their best. it was peaceful and not crowded which made it easier to take photos and enjoy the scenery.

My advice is to check for discount tickets online before you go. I saved a few bucks that way and it makes the whole experience feel more budget-friendly.

I suggest getting there around 9 AM when they open. It's way less crowded and you can snag a good spot by the pools before everyone else shows up. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

I recommend checking out the playground area first thing in the morning around 10 AM. It gets crowded later, and my kids had so much fun with fewer people around. Trust me, it’s worth it!
