Hahns Peak Village, Colorado

FacebookTwitter

Hahns Peak is a tiny, former mining village north of Steamboat Springs. Combined with Clark just to the south, the area has a few restaurants, two general stores, and several lodging options. It sits at the foot of Hahns Peak, an extinct volcano, and across from Steamboat Lake.

History

The town began as a mining camp around 1865. It boomed in 1876, garnering it the first post office in Routt County, as well a stint as the county seat. Hahns Peak Historical Society preserves 15 of the town’s earliest buildings including a schoolhouse and historic cabin. There is also a museum.
