How to Research the Best Park City Summer Getaway

by Susan Mayloch

One of the biggest difficulties Park City encounters is that many people perceive the town only as a winter destination. In reality, the area has just as much to offer in other seasons-especially summer. The only thing that can hold visitors back is the amount of time they have to spend.

Adrenaline inducing sports are easy to come by in Park City. Mountain biking is one of the most popular summer sports, which is a small wonder considering the quantity and quality of trails throughout Park City. On any given day, visitors and locals alike can be found on rides ranging from mellow beginner trails to bone jarring single tracks at Deer Valley. River rafting, rock climbing, and hiking at the resorts are just a few other ways to get out and enjoy Park City’s scenery.

Extreme sports are not for everyone, however, which is why Park City Mountain Resort offers family friendly activities that all can enjoy. Mini-golf and a human maze are a couple of games they have at the base of the mountain. They also have rides, such as the alpine slide, that combine the mountain scenery with fast paced thrills for adults and kids.

Utah Olympic Park is a venue unique to Park City, which can provide a taste of various Olympic sports. Spectators can watch as freestyle aerialists fly into the air before plummeting into the aerial splash pool. For those that would like even more of an authentic Olympic experience, there are aerial camps available. There is also a bobsled track that a pilot will take vacationers down at high speeds, which is an unforgettable ride.

There are plenty of other happenings unique to Park City, such as summer festivals. The Park City Jazz Festival, hosted by Deer Valley, is a great way to enjoy different types of music in a beautiful mountain setting. The Park City Food and Wine Festival is another festival that where the scenery only adds to the experience.

Restaurants in Park City supply more dining options than most people can get to in numerous trips. There are fine dining options that provide course after course of locally influenced meals, as well as quick, inexpensive meals that can be grabbed en route to an outdoor concert. The venue can be half the experience with some restaurants providing people watching on Main Street, and others among the lush mountain scenery of Deer Valley.

Shopping in Park City is something that everyone can enjoy doing, and a great way to interact with locals. There are plenty of shops that specialize in outfitting those who come to Park City for the sports. Main Street is also lined with boutiques, souvenir shops, and art galleries all offering temptations.

It can be easy to think of Park City only in terms of its snow. While this is a big attraction for people in the area, the summers are usually what keep people from leaving. Coming up to Park City in the summertime, with the abundance of activities and scenic landscape, it can be easy to understand how people come for a week, and end up becoming locals.
