Hot Springs Trail

The Hot Springs Trail features miles of great climbing up dirt roadways outside Steamboat Springs with several options for downhill on singletrack on the way down. Hot springs are located at the end of this roadway for riders looking for a good soak!

The Hot Springs Trail features three downhill routes that riders can choose from. Each route is a loop and a map is necessary to clearly navigate all the options. Maps can be picked up in Steamboat Springs.
