A steep, winding, unpaved road from Steamboat Springs leads you to Strawberry hot springs, and from November 1 to May 1, four wheel drive or chains is required (the Colorado State Patrol is known for ticketing cars that aren’t prepared). Parking at Strawberry is limited, so consider the shuttle. Try Sweet Pea Tours, which will take you the 25 minutes from Steamboat to the springs, for $40 per adult. A day at Strawberry is $10 per person and the pools are cleaned and drained once a week.
