Explore the vast natural beauty of the Wasatch Back: our Park City Travel Guide
“Park City is a majestic mountain wonderland that stole my heart. I have been skiing here for the last 15 years, and like many others have come for the winters but stayed for the summers. ”
From skiing fresh Utah powder in the winter, to winding down mountain biking trails in the summer, there is an activity for everyone to enjoy during all seasons. If extreme sports are not really your thing, Park City offers an abundance of art galleries, dining options, boutique shopping, and relaxing spas. Not to mention the Sundance Film Festival where you can experience the excitement of world-premiere films and original storytelling.
This historic silver mining town has a lot to offer. So let me show you around with my guide to Park City.
