Parks & Nature
This is one of Steamboat's most unique and memorable places. Natural soaking pools, massage, a beautiful setting, and (for those so inclined) their relaxed clothing-optional designation (after dark) makes it a truly magical spot. Shuttle service: Though just a few miles from downtown, the road is rugged and fines are steep for getting stuck: they offer a shuttle service to save you the trouble of driving.
