About Park City
Park City is located in Utah’s Summit County, 35 minutes east of the Salt Lake City International Airport via a six-lane interstate highway (I-80). Park City proper measures two miles from end to end. Just five miles separate The Canyons Resort and Deer Valley Resort, with Park City Mountain Resort between the two. A breathtaking mountain venue and a great family vacation destination, there are endless opportunities for fun in and around Park City, from hiking and mountain biking to fly fishing and horseback riding.
Historic Main Street offers restaurants with a range of cuisine from French to Thai, Japanese to Southwestern, as well as numerous bars, shops and art galleries. The Park City Transit System is complimentary along Main Street and throughout town, and services The Canyons Resort.
At Park City Mountain Resort you will find a variety of activities, including a climbing wall, miniature golf, and the Alpine Slide (one of the longest rides in the world with 3000 feet of track). Soar above the tree tops as the Zip Rider propels you 110 feet above the Resort’s ski runs at speeds up to 45 miles per hour. parkcitymountain.com/summer
Visit Utah Olympic Park, and travel up to 70 miles per hour and experience 4 G’s of force (an equivalent of a 40-story drop in just over a minute) on a wheeled bobsled public passenger ride. An experienced driver takes three passengers on “The Comet,” a thrilling ride down the entire length of the Olympic bobsled track.
**Ages 14 and older. NO EXCEPTIONS. Participants under 18 require a parent or guardian signature. Reservations are not required. All riders should be in good health to ride.
Every Saturday at noon you can watch high-flying action as Olympic hopefuls and national team athletes put on a 25 minute freestyle aerial show for spectators. This choreographed show with music will leave you breathless as skiers and snowboarders soar up to 60 feet in the air and perform acrobatic feats before landing in a 750,000 gallon splash pool. This is a great activity for the entire family. utaholympicpark.com, click on “Utah Olympic Park,” “Public Activities.”

It’s hard to imagine a better setting for a round of golf. Breathtaking mountain vistas, cool dry breezes and more blue sky days than you’ll find at almost any elevation. Maybe that’s why the Park City area is becoming a renowned golf destination. Park City Golf Club, www.parkcitygolfclub.org, Soldier Hollow Golf Course, www.soldierhollow.com
