I have had the privilege to spend many work and vacation days in Steamboat Springs as I often visit to provide sports massage for bicyclists. Steamboat Springs boasts of many natural hot springs. The town was named for a natural rock formation that created sound like a steamboat 'toot' when the steam from the hot springs rose. The town is probably best known for the world class skiing on Werner mountain (

visit link) is a treasure of floral color explosions every summer. Visit sooner than later because the beetle kill (

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
