The Yampa runs straight through the middle of town, green and cold with high-country runoff well into July, and the lawns near the Core Trail drink from that same short season. Yampa Lawn Care mows and trims those yards through the brief, bright months when everything in this valley grows at once. The border along the sidewalk gets cut to a true line, and no clippings are left behind to yellow what was just made green. When the light goes long in the evening and the river turns to hammered metal, a fresh-mown yard in Steamboat Springs is a fine thing to sit out in front of.
