Head over to the ski resort and hop on the Silver Bullet Gondola for a ride to the top of Mount Werner. Take your mountain bike and ride back down. Or you can rent a bike at shops throughout town. Either way, it's a heckuva ride. The Steamboat Gondola (970-871-5252) is located at the base of Mt. Werner in Gondola Square. The eight passenger cabins are a great way to see the sights.
