Red Fox on the Hunt

Red Fox hunting rodents under the snow

Watching this Red fox hunting for rodents was very interesting and entertaining  moving his head from side to side, listing to the rodents movements under the snow (about 2 feet deep) and then jumping up and nose diving into the snow and catching it.

Bald Eagles around Steamboat Springs, CO

We are lucky to live a place were you can see these eagles on a daily basis, flying over head, fishing out of the Yampa river or nearby ponds that have been stocked.

Summer and Winter time in Steamboat Springs makes a great destination for the fly fisherman with the Yampa river running through town with easy access, or you can get one of the local guides to take you to some of the private sections of the river. Ice fishing can be done on Stage Coach Reservoir.  For the none fisher person lots of hikes close by.

In the winter season skiing and snow boarding are the main sports going on in town, with the ski field and lifts just a short ride up the road on local transport, or stay at one of the many condos that are on the hill. Great restaurants and Bars can also be found in town, sushi to pub food.   

Don't ski, go cross country snow shoeing
