The Yampa River Valley easily attracted outside attention for its 157 active mineral hot springs in the immediate vicinity. These had both medicinal and recreational qualities and includes compounds such as salt, alkali, iron, lithia, sulphur, magnesia and other minerals. Today some of these have been diverted to fill indoor swimming pools and hot mineral baths.

The area also became popular for a wide range of winter sports activities. Nearby Howelsen Hill became famous by the 1930's for being the location of many ski jumping records.
