Yesterday was a great day to walk, roll and ride! Thanks to everyone who joined us for National Walk & Roll to School Day and helped make getting to school an adventure.

We had a great time connecting with students, sharing safe walking and riding tips, handing out some fun swag and celebrating active ways to get around Steamboat.

Thanks to our partners at Routt County Riders, Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue, Parks & Recreation and the Steamboat Springs School District for helping make the day happen! Here we are at the high school during lunch.

We’ll see you out on the trail—keep walking, rolling and riding safely! 💚💙
