• Go to Steam’s Library tab (1), right click your game (2), hover over Manage to expand more options (3), and click Browse Local Files (4).
• From there, double click your game's /bin folder to view it (5).
• Find hammer.exe in this folder and double click it (6). This will launch Hammer, the level editor for Source.
