Southwest® flights from Denver to Steamboat Springs from $59

Though you can certainly make the three-hour drive from Denver to Steamboat Springs, you don’t have to. Why travel harder when you could travel smarter by booking a Southwest flight? Getting into and around Steamboat Springs used to require skis or snowshoes. Thankfully, this is no longer the case—but if you’re visiting during the colder months, you may want to strap on a pair of skis or a snowboard and enjoy the new slope options available when you arrive.

The opportunity to enjoy quaint mountain town life all year round is one of the draws of Steamboat Springs. However, quaint doesn’t mean sleepy or boring. Outdoor sports abound for visitors looking for a taste of adventure. If you’re visiting during the winter, choose from 18 different ski lifts and a multitude of ski trails that can accommodate both beginners and experts. If that's a little too adventurous, try a sleigh ride instead. During the summer, enjoy the same peaks on mountain bike, horseback, or on a tube ride down the Yampa River. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to explore historic sights and local museums to learn more about the history of this small town. At the end of a long day, enjoy a delicious meal and the local atmosphere in Steamboat Springs’ charming downtown.
