Routt County, Colorado packs classic high-country hiking into one corner of the state, from the forested climb to Strawberry Park Hot Springs to the long pull toward Luna Lake and the rugged country around Red Dirt Pass. Steamboat Springs gives the region its trail-town heartbeat, while Hahn’s Peak, Gold Creek Lake, and broad aspen hillsides frame days that feel distinctly Colorado: big sky, clear water, and mountain air worth lingering in.
