Have you ever done the hot springs there??
5 years ago, was thinking of going Presidents Wk with my daughter to SB.
Read about the natural hot springs.
What can you tell us about them?

Hot water and supher odor...

You still see signs in Steamboat...I'm guessing they are still bubbling cause you can smell it in town.

Strawberry Hot springs near Steamboat is definately worth a visit! It is up a switchback road to  the top of the mountain. Gorgeous spot, with steaming water running down the rock into stone-formed pools, each a bit cooler than the first. When I was there it started snowing like crazy, cool huge flakes falling on my steaming head. Not to be forgotten. Have Fun! :)s

I'm in!
Anyone else want to give it a try this year? Sounds like something to be experienced.

they run trips up and back, they offer trips up and in the evening/night its clothing optional. we went over the summer, fun but I get board quick. after 1/2 hour I'm ready to head home. I believe in the winter you have to go with thier van I think it's like 40-50 pp. There is a hot tub at Canyon Creek, I will meet you there when you all get back :) THey re-furbed the one in town and even have a slide for it! I'd be up for that....

But more investigation is in order.

Jim is renting an SUV. As long as the road is open, that may be a possibility.
Then it's just $10.
But, I am bringing a bathing suit.
