Hahn's Peak and Steamboat Lake
If you're looking for a true backcountry experience, travel a bit north of Steamboat.
Hahn's Peak 's distinctive shape towers along the landscape of northern Colorado. At almost 11,000 feet, this tall mountain is a strenuous and long climb. The pain is completely worth it for views of the backcountry that Northern Colorado has to offer. Steamboat Lake lies at the foot of the peak, and both are fantastic getaways during the summer. The Lake offers fishing, camping, boating, a full-service marina and a swimming beach. Beware, the water is cold.
From Steamboat Springs go west two miles on U.S. 40 to County Road 129. Turn north and drive 26 miles.
