Steamboat Springs has put together a cool summer package that spells fun for the whole family. Reserve two or more nights lodging at the regular price and get an additional night free with the resort's Summer Adventure Package 2009. The package also includes a half-day whitewater-rafting trip for everyone in your party, plus a free gondola ticket on the Steamboat Gondola up Mt. Werner for every adult gondola ticket purchased.

A half-day river rafting trip on the Colorado River with its Class I, II and III rapids is the perfect introduction to the thrill of navigating whitewater rapids. The ride up Mt. Werner on Steamboat's eight-passenger gondola is a more sublime pleasure during which one can soak up the beautiful views of the Yampa Valley on the ride up, dine at the BK Café Sun Deck or at Hazie's, then head out on one of the high-altitude trails for a hike or bike ride.

With your minimum three-day package, there's still time to get in a little fly fishing on the Yampa River, take a tour of  a working cattle or sheep ranch, play a few rounds of golf, attend a rodeo, or take a nice, long soak in one of Steamboat's hot springs.
