Tubers float the Yampa River through downtown Steamboat Springs on July 1. Thousands of tourists travel to this mountain town each year to visit the river.
At Backdoor Sports on Yampa Street, dozens of people from Wisconsin, Kentucky and Illinois were lining up this month to rent river tubes days before the waterway closed because of drought conditions.
Peter Van De Carr started the business 35 years ago with 10 tubes and a single limousine to ferry people back up the river when they were done. This year, he has a fleet of vans and long lines.
“There s days where we ll put 600 people on the river,” Van De Carr said. “Last year, we did about somewhere between 15,000 and 16,000 people. And that s probably like 4,000 or 5,000 above just an average summer.“

Can we find a way to support good cops?
Since both good cops and bad cops wear the same uniform, maybe itâs time for another symbol or color to represent the good ones so we, the general public, can show our support for the good ones without having to show support for the bad ones at the same time.
Having known both, I would love to show my support for the good ones, but the all-or-nothing symbology too often leaves me silent and bewildered instead. The man, the person, makes the uniform; the uniform does not make the person.
FORT COLLINS and STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Triple Crown Sports Inc., the Fort Collins company that
in January lost its contract with the city of Steamboat to host multiple youth and adult tournaments, will be permitted to host at least two baseball tournaments in June this year.
The Steamboat City Council voted this week to permit the tournaments after being threatened with lawsuits if access to Steamboat fields was denied to the company and allowed to other tournament organizations.
In a three-page letter to City Manager Gary Suiter, Triple Crown CEO Keri King outlined the economic impact that his company has had in Steamboat Springs since 1982 and outlined what the company would do if denied access to fields.
