Steamboat briefs: Award-winning filmmaker’s movie set to screen at library







— Bud Werner Memorial Library presents a free screening of “Yosemite,” a film by award-winning filmmaker Oliver Goetzl from the 2016 International Wildlife Film Festival, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7 in Library Hall. Yosemite National Park is a place of superlatives where you can find sheer granite cliffs 900 meters high and giant sequoias well more than 1,000 years old. Beneath these towering heights live animals that make Yosemite their home: from bobcats to black bears to coyotes and golden eagles. Follow Yosemite’s inhabitants throughout the seasons in a unique portrait of this legendary park. Visit steamboatlibrary.org/events for more information.

City reminds users about basic, proper trail etiquette

The city of Steamboat Springs Parks & Community Services Department reminds all trail users of some basic trail etiquette.

■ Use authorized trails only.  

■ Stay on the existing single track of the trails. Walking on the sides of muddy trails creates trail widening, braiding and other negative impacts.

■ Stay off wet and muddy trails to minimize damage. If mud is sticking to your shoes, tires or animals, it is too muddy.

■ Educate yourself and your friends. Friends don’t let friends use muddy trails.

Steamboat Springs has limited resources for trail maintenance. These resources are stretched even thinner, when they are needed to address the negative impacts of users not following trail etiquette.

Visit steamboatspring.net for up-to-date trail closures and help prevent resource damage by respecting closures that remain in effect.
