As a Mother's Day/Father's Day gift to his parents, Rich took all of us to Steamboat Springs for a couple days. We wanted to see some place new and none of us had ever been to Steamboat before, so we gave it a try. We were not disappointed!
A friend told me Fish Creek Falls was a must do, so we made sure to get there first. The hike is pretty easy to find, but it's a little outside downtown Steamboat Springs. Heading into Steamboat Springs from Denver you would take a right on Third St. and follow the signs to the falls. GET THERE EARLY!!! There is very limited parking for how popular this trail is.
The hike is short but difficult. It's only .5 miles roundtrip, but it's very steep. Gravel is loose on the way down and the hike is rough getting back up, but the falls are well worth the trouble!

On day 2 we had to try the local fly fishing! We went to Stagecoach State Park, where roomer had it fishing was good. We had a few bites and saw dozens of trout, but we left a little too early to really get into it. We will definitely be back though!

We finished the trip by taking the long way back home. Rather than go back down to highway 70 we took highway 14 through Walden and Poudre Canyon hoping to see some moose. We saw one moose in Walden just off the road in a meadow and another couple of them in State Forest State Park. We also stopped by the Moose Visitor Center for a short walk to get out of the car.
The drive through Cameron Pass on the way home was beautiful! I can't wait to go back to Steamboat Springs! We had a wonderful trip!
