While towns like Aspen and Vail get most of the attention when it comes to Colorado ski destinations, Steamboat Springs has much of the same great skiing at a lower cost and is only three hours to the northeast of Denver.

While Steamboat Springs isn’t particularly large and much of the downtown area can be covered on foot, the town does offer a bus service, which offers multiple routes throughout the area. There’s even a bus that travels past the RV parks to the west of the town, so you can find a park to set up camp with the RV rental near Steamboat Springs and then hop the bus to tour the town.
