Please continue to check the interactive trail map online for up-to-date trail status information and closures. Our crews are out checking trails regularly, but if you ever see anything amiss, you can easily report it directly to our trails staff online.

We all enjoy doing what we love, and when your job is fun, it really doesn't feel like a job does it? Parks & Recreation is currently hiring a number of part-time and seasonal positions that offer end-of-season bonuses and other perks like ski/skate passes and housing opportunities. Join our team and enjoy what we all love about Steamboat Springs, community and the outdoors!

The sound of pounding feet will echo across the Yampa Valley this Sunday as runners in the Steamboat Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k, run their way towards the finish line in downtown. With all races finishing in front of the courthouse, the event will bring some traffic impacts and street closures for most of the day. The westbound lanes of Lincoln Avenue will be closed from 5th to 11th Streets. Traffic will be split (one in each direction) in the two lanes normally designated for eastbound traffic. In addition, a rolling closure on 5th Street from Lincoln to Oak will be encountered Sunday morning, between 6 AM and 9 AM for the 10K start. 6th Street between Lincoln Avenue and Oak Street will also be closed for the majority of the day for the race expo and finish line activities. Please drive cautiously, or even better, come out and support the racers or sign up to be a race volunteer!
