Skip the slopes and spend a day downtown. Here are a few spots to visit.
Start the day in a sweet way with breakfast at Winona’s Restaurant and Bakery where the cinnamon rolls might just be as big as your head.
Once you’re fueled up, hit the shops. Off the Beaten Path is Steamboat’s own independent bookstore (and a bonus: it opens early, at 8 a.m.). Browse books and sip a second coffee – the shop houses a coffee counter and brews locally roasted Steamboat beans.
Shop ‘til you drop. F.M. Light & Sons is a mecca for Western wear; find your next pair of cowboy boots here. Next door, Allen’s Clothing has been outfitting customers for nearly 70 years (if you need ski socks, this is the place for you).
Find whimsical creations at Kali’s Boutique, outerwear at Straightline Sports and fashion-forward clothing and accessories at Wanderlust Boutique.
Kids will love Fuzziwig's, a candy store stocked full of chocolates and any candy imaginable, plus toys, stuffed animals and Legos. Or swing by Steamboat Fun and Games for a few rounds of arcade games before lunch.
When you’re ready to sit down, head to Yampa Valley Kitchen, located downtown in a renovated 1900s farmhouse.The restaurant sources as many ingredients as possible from the Yampa Valley and Colorado, providing a tasty bite of Routt County.
For a sweet treat after lunch, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory will do the trick with its trays of delectable chocolates in many flavors.
Spend the afternoon immersed in the culture of Routt County. The Tread of Pioneers Museum offers a glimpse into Steamboat’s rich history, while galleries like Wild Horse Gallery and Pine Moon Fine Art showcase both local and national artists.
