What to do and see in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (CO): The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

January 2, 2022 Rebbecca Marino

A ski town that is also an authentic ranching center, Steamboat Springs is more down home than glitzy. Cowboy hats and ski boots are equally welcome on the city's friendly streets. The place where downhill skiing first flourished in the United States, Steamboat Springs remains a premiere slopes destination. But the town also offers outdoor recreation of every stripe and season. And after a long day hiking, schussing or shopping, you can relax in one of the natural hot springs for which the town was named.

A group of about 10 of us booked a 4 hour snowmobile tour, and we had an absolute blast!!! Our tour guide Brian was great, friendly, funny, and made us all feel safe. We got to ride on trails and also in open meadow areas which allowed us to practice our turns without fear. He also took us to some nice outlook areas where the views were beautiful and we all took pictures. The pricing is very fair, the booking process was simple, and the entire day was extremely fun! 10/10 recommend

Grizzle-T Dog & Sled Works

Grizzle-T Dog & Sled Works is a dog sledding tour business located in Steamboat Springs, CO. Family owned and operated by Iditarod Musher, Kris Hoffman and his wife Sara. In business since 1996, we offer both “Learn to Drive” dog sledding tours where we bring you out and teach you how to drive your own team (typically 2 people/sled with one starting as the driver and 1 being the passenger and then switching half way around the trail) or “Guide Driven” tours where we drive the sleds for you and you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the beautiful Colorado mountains at the speed of dog. Our 12.5mile backcountry trail is located on a private ranch just west of Steamboat. Our pristine (groomed) trail snakes through Colorado’s mountainous ranch country traversing over ridgelines, through canyons, open meadows, and everything in-between. Views include the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, Sleeping Giant, The Zirkles, The Steamboat Ski Area, the Valley and much more...with the occasional spotting of wildlife!

This is a wonderful experience. Learning to drive the sleds is so much fun and a unique experience. The countryside was over the top. The dogs love what they do and are so sweet. Everyone who works there is warm and friendly and extremely professional. Highly recommend. Do not even think twice about it. Go!

Great experience. Maureen was a great instructor for a first timer like my wife, and equally helpful for a more intermediate shooter such as my self. We’ll be back for sure.

Snow Buddies did an awesome job. My teenagers loved driving the dog sleds, they loved the cookies and hot cocoa at at the top and most of all they loved the friendliness and happiest of the dogs. Great family fun! Worth every penny.

Reviewed By jashleypanter

My group went on the 2-hour Beginner Action Tour and we had a blast. Our tour guide, Kevin, was the best tour guide I’ve ever had, and the tour itself was incredible. Great views, just enough excitement for get your adrenaline going, and long enough to get a feel for snowmobiling, but not too long to where you’re ready to just get the heck off. The HCT staff as a whole was extremely nice and super accommodating for all of our needs.
