Steamboat Springs has become a very special place for our family.  We have loved our time there during ski season, so we decided to head back to this magical little town in the mountains for some fun during the off-ski season!

Steamboat Springs not only is beautiful with picturesque mountain views, but is also has so much to offer!  From winter sports to summer activities, Steamboat has it all!  It was our first time to Steamboat Springs in the warmer months, and it was so fun to see it in a new light!  Beautiful green trees everywhere, the green valleys, and the rivers flowing.  It is quite a place!  With so much to do in the off-ski season, we thought we would make a list of our favorites!

One of my favorite things to do as a family in the summer is to escape to the mountains!  Since we are lucky enough to live in Utah, it makes it very easy to spent a quick weekend in our beautiful mountains!

As much as we love winter sports and to spend our time skiing in the mountains, the summer months bring some amazing opportunities to enjoy the fresh mountain air!

Every year, we make sure to head up to the mountains when the wildflowers are out in abundance!  It is the most breathtaking sight to see the entire mountain side covered in beautiful colors!

Family Friendly Things to Do Near Zion National Park Utah

We just got back from Spring Break at Zion Ponderosa Resort, and had the best time!  I am constantly feeling amazed by the beauty of Utah, and feel so lucky to live in such an incredible state!  Utah is home to 5 National Parks!  How cool is that?!  We love to take advantage of the diverse scenery of our home state.  There is nothing like the beauty of Southern Utah!  It is so unique and grand, and other worldly!  Did you know that all fourth graders in the country get a free National Parks pass?  Our oldest is in fourth grade, and we have loved taking advantage of the Every Kid in a Park program!  When we visit the National Parks in Utah, it is so cool to see so many people from all over the world visiting!  I love that they too recognize it’s unique beauty!
