Moffat County is quickly becoming the recreational hub for northwest Colorado with all of the amenities nearby but without the price tag you might expect in a resort area. Hiking, hunting, rafting, biking ... Moffat County has that covered!
You'll find fabulous hiking right out your back door. If you're looking for more challenging trails Brown's Park, Irish Canyon and Cedar Mountain are all located within two hours - perfect locations for a day trip!. Looking for National Park access? Dinosaur National Park is a hop skip and jump away while 80,000 thousand acres of national forest with public access is under 30 miles away. Steamboat Springs (SBS) has absolutely endless trials from easy to extreme all within an hour from SBS. Some of the well known trails are Fish Creek (right in SBS) Mad Creek (on the way to Clark), Zirkel Circle in the Zirkels, Rabbit Ears and Gilpin Lake. When you finish hiking you can soak your tired muscles at the hot springs in SBS as well as at Strawberry Hot Springs.
If your looking for rafting opportunities you'll love The Little Yampa Canyon (LYC), also known as Duffy Canyon. LYC is located in Moffat County, just downstream of Craig, Colorado and is home to a 32-mile, family-friendly, flatwater stretch of the Yampa River; a stretch that has been found to hold characteristics suitable for a Wild & Scenic River designation.
This section of river boasts incredible scenery, hidden Native American petroglyphs, frequent wildlife viewing opportunities, and an incredible sense of serenity and solitude that is lost in today's modern, busy world. Unlike the Yampa Canyon which requires a permit from Dinosaur National Monument to float the river, the LYC is managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a Special Recreation Management Area and does not require a permit to float the river.
This property is within an hour of world class skiing and dining in Steamboat Spring and the Yampa Valley Regional Airport which offers multiple daily flights to Denver - skip the long security lines and parking decisions!
At the end of the day Craig is 22 miles away and offers grocery stores, Murdochs, Walmart, hardware & boutique shopping. If you're looking for a meal out there are options from a quiet steak dinner, patio dining, authentic Mexican, a food warehouse with multiple dining options and numerous food trucks.
