The Flattops and Park Range are two separate ranges in the region surrounding Steamboat Springs, in
northern Colorado. The
Flattops, west of Steamboat, are a unique mountain range with sheer walls guarding high plateaus laden
with alpine lakes. The gentle high alpine topography makes this range a
backpacker's paradise. The Park Range, east of Steamboat, has similar terrain, but with some bigger
jagged peaks too.
