Park City Overview
Park City could certainly stake a rightful claim of being the “perfect mountain town.” Combining its silver mining town heritage, an artistic vibe and a deep appreciation for the outdoors, Park City strikes a balance between luxury and comfort, all the while showing a deep appreciation for athletics, arts and community. Whatever your daily activity may be, you’ll work up an appetite for the diversity of fine restaurants that line Park City’s Historic Main Street and beyond, and you’ll want to wind down after a long day with the craft whiskeys and vodkas at the High West Distillery and Saloon. And the offerings for outdoor recreation are immense. The winter slopes were once featured in the Olympics, and in summer the mountains and nearby state parks and reservoirs transform into a hiking, mountain biking, fishing and camping mecca.
Known as a winter destination, Park City is home to two world-class resorts, Deer Valley and Park City Mountain. Park City Mountain features the largest lift-accessed terrain in the United States. With over 300 trails, 41 lifts, 8 terrain parks, one super pipe and one mini pipe, Park City Mountain has adventure for all abilities and ages. Meanwhile, Deer Valley Resort is recognized as the first North American ski resort to provide the first-class service of a five-star hotel. Not surprisingly, it’s consistently ranked number one in a variety of categories by readers of SKI Magazine. In addition to the world-class skiing, visitors to Park City can enjoy plenty of winter fun off the mountain such as dog sledding, snowmobiling, snow tubing and Nordic skiing.
Looking to visit in spring, summer or fall? Go hiking and biking on 700 kilometers of trails, or try hot-air ballooning, horseback riding and fly-fishing. Ride an alpine slide down a mountain, go boating and stand-up paddle boarding on a pristine lake or stream, and fly through a forest on a zip line.
