Description
The iconic Steamboat Barn sits on a grassy hillside as the sun rises on a summer day in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
From natezeman.com:
Once upon a time there were but a few of these small barns in the Yampa Valley. Determined homesteaders used this land for grazing and other agriculture endeavors. Like most towns in the west, these relics of a time gone by have been replaced by parking lots and subdivisions. The More Barn, better known as the Steamboat Barn, which was built to store hay, now sits on a small parcel of land surrounded by development. Most will find themselves passing by the many rows of large mountain homes, failing to notice this small piece of history in this beautiful town. Sitting on prime real estate, close to the Steamboat ski resort, the fate of this barn remains unknown. For now though, isolated through the lens of a camera, the Steamboat Barn looks much as it must have when this valley was nothing more than a few buildings surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
