You’ll find a perfect depth for splashing around with the little ones. Burgess Creek runs down from the mountain and into the base area offering a great cool off spot. Grab a red chair on the sandy beach and watch the kids play amongst the rocks and wading pools.

Guided Hike and Lunch

Looking for something to do during the summer at Steamboat Resort, and to get on Mt. Werner to hike around? Try the guided hike and lunch! Your journey starts with a ride up the Steamboat Gondola, where the views of the Yampa Valley will be on full display. From there, your mountain Ambassador will lead you on a one-mile hike with vistas, forests and hopefully an animal sighting, all while learning about the mountain and surrounding areas. After the hike you will have lunch at the Oasis Sundeck at the Thunderhead Lodge, where you will be able to choose from variety of menu options.

Plan on two-hours for your hiking and lunch adventure. Wear sturdy shoes and be sure to bring water and a light jacket. The hike is not difficult although the elevation is slightly above 9K feet.
