Steamboat Springs was originally named for the sound of the hot springs along the river making the chug, chug sound of a steamboat. There are many accounts of the vast herds of wildlife in the area as settlers came into the valley and that still holds true today with large herds of elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope covering the landscape.
