Strawberry Park has a cache near by. This is a great little hot springs that is tucked way back in the hills away from Steamboat Springs. The hot springs is open year-round but winter travel is a no no unless you have 4 wheel drive/winter equipment. (County law)
The springs has some facilities for overnight stays. It is clothing optional at night and has no other light sources. Trekking from the parking area to the springs can be a challenge at night so bring a headlamp or small flashlight. In the winter it is much worse adding the snow and ice on the path. If using a flashlight, keep the light directed at your feet when walking. If using the pools at night, dress in as little clothing as possible and leave all valuables in your vehicle. There are no places to lock your items and with the darkness it is hard to see who may be getting into your stuff. I have had no problems and typically the crowd is "adult" enough to mind their own business but the chance of mistaken clumps of clothing happen. There are a few sheltered areas to undress/change clothing but you are always subject to public encounters. But again, everybody has to be "adult" about it.
You will encounter an assortment of people. This is a diverse environment. 'Nuff said about that. (Email me with questions).
The springs has 3 pools. Hot, Hotter, and "COLD". The pools are rock lined with a sandy/small rock bottom. It is a good time and should not be missed.
Qualiity. Not Quantity!
