Dog Sledding Trek: The Alliance at Routt National Forest, Steamboat Springs
During The Alliance's Ring of Champions trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the team got to experience several incredible adventures.
At an altitude of 9763 feet, the Alliance harnessed up thirty good boys for an adventure. Yup, we're talking dog sledding with The Alliance team in Routt National Forest! Now, I don't know about you, but dog sledding isn't something that we get to do regularly around here. So not only were the dogs excited, but everyone participating in the excursion was excited too!
Out into the great wilderness of Routt National Forest they went, and everyone involved had an incredible time! The adventure on the dog sleds was one of the most talked about things of the entire Steamboat Springs journey...Cute dogs, fun in the snow, a wild and untamed wilderness...How could it not be a highlight??
Check out our video of The Alliance's Dog Sledding Trek into Routt National Forest for a little taste of that fun in the snow!

Steamboat Spring, Routt County, Colorado, United States, North America
The city of Steamboat Springs is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Routt County, Colorado, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 12,088. The city is an internationally known winter ski resort destination. The Steamboat Springs tourism industry is highlighted by Steamboat Ski Resort, which is on Mount Werner in the Park Range just east of the town. It also contains the much smaller Howelsen Ski Area. It is located in the upper valley of the Yampa River, along U.S. Highway 40 just west of the Continental Divide and Rabbit Ears Pass. The area surrounding Steamboat Springs was originally inhabited by the Yampatikas Utes, who hunted in the valley during the summer. Trappers began to move through the area during the first decades of the 19th century. James Harvey Crawford, the founder of Steamboat Springs, first arrived in the spring of 1874. The Crawford family moved there in 1876, and for the first five years were the sole permanent residents of the town. The native Utes were forcibly removed from the area to a reservation in Utah by the U.S. Army starting in 1879. Milestones in the development of the pioneer town included the first sawmill in 1873, incorporation of the town in 1900, and the arrival of the railroad in 1909. The economy of the region was originally based on ranching and mining, which still have a large presence in the county. Steamboat is home to natural hot springs that are located throughout the area (see Geography). Upon first hearing a chugging sound, early trappers believed that a steamboat was coming down the river. When the trappers saw that there was no steamboat, and that the sound was coming from a hot spring, they decided to name the spring Steamboat Springs. Originally, skiing was the only method of transportation during harsh and snowy Rocky Mountain winters. In turn, the popularity of skiing as a winter pastime catalyzed development of the town and other communities all over the Rocky Mountains. In 1913, Carl Howelsen, a Norwegian, moved to town and introduced ski jumping. Howelsen built the first jump on Howelsen Hill, now part of the Howelsen Ski Area. He also founded the annual Winter Carnival, a celebration still held each winter. The festival includes ski racing and jumping, dog sledding, and chariot events down Lincoln Avenue, the city's main street. Light shows on both Mount Werner and Howelsen Hill are highlights. The Steamboat Ski Resort was largely established by two local men, Jim Temple and John Fetcher. Temple led the effort to develop the area. Fetcher, a local rancher, was the main designer and builder. The resort opened on what was then called Storm Mountain in 1963. In 1974, The Industrial Company (TIC) was started in Steamboat Springs and has since grown into one of the largest industrial construction companies in the United States with revenues of approximately $2 billion in 2007. The company is one of the largest employers in Routt County and has more than 9,000 employees worldwide. In 1993, the City Council of Steamboat Springs, Colorado conducted a poll of its residents to choose a new name for the bridge that crossed the Yampa River on Shield Drive. With 7,717 votes, the winning name was James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge. The bridge was officially dedicated in September 1993, and James Brown appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the event. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.1 square miles (26 km2), all of it land except for the Yampa River. The Yampa Valley and surrounding area contain several geothermal hot springs. The city is named after the Steamboat Spring, located near the present-day library and the old train depot. The spring itself was so named because its bubbling sounded like a steamboat to early settlers. Unfortunately, the construction of the railroad, which passes right next to the Steamboat Spring, silenced the chugging sound in 1908. Locals take pride in the name of their town, as evidenced by the humorously named Steamboat Yacht Club, a local restaurant formerly located on the Yampa River. Though there are no steamboats in the town, except for an allegorical steamboat playground in West Lincoln Park, the area does offer two hot springs that are open to the public.
Hahns Peak (near Steamboat Springs, Colorado)
Slide show of a drive and hike to the summit of Hahns Peak (elevation approximately 10,839 ft) in the Routt National Forest (north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado). If you are moving quickly, it can be a challenging little hike, notwithstanding the modest elevation gain. The prominence of the summit yields a spectacular view in any direction. Date was July 3, 2007.

Day 37 - Chapman Reservoir CG, Routt NF (4K)
CANADA Bound - Day 37 finds us making it to Colorado via Steamboat Springs and south to the Routt National Forest where we select a remote campground 21 miles back on a bumpy forest service road. Two deep potholes concealed nicely level with water in the shade really hammered the front suspension when I hit them unexpectedly. The campground is called Chapman Reservoir as it sits alongside a small pretty reservoir.

Routt National Forest, CO-The Devil's Causeway in the Flat Tops Wilderness
In a region where many speak of myths, curses and breathtaking views this trail has a legendary status. It's a relatively short hike to a ridge that rises over 11,500 feet of elevation, narrowly connecting two mountains. To cross at its most narrow point requires scrambling up a few boulders that are only three feet wide.
Because the Flat Tops region doesn't sit quite as high on the plateau you'll be above most of the other surrounding peaks as you approach Devil's Causeway. Although it isn't considered a mountain, this gives you a classic summit view where the curvature of the earth can be seen from a few vantage points.
