Take a short walk from downtown Steamboat to reach true mountain wilderness, where the clear alpine water from Fish Creek Falls spills down 280-ft Fish Creek Canyon in spectacular fashion.
Vacationers enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, photography, and ice climbing. During the summer a picnic with a view is a given.
The Routt National Forest requires a longer hike and is well worth the extra effort. Once the falls are frozen in the winter, they attract ice-climbers.
Many great tours are available in the area which will take you to the best spots.
