Things to do!

Our venue is about 45 minutes from Salt Lake City and 20 minutes outside of Park City. Wherever you choose to stay, you'll be close to pretty much any outdoor activity you could want to do! Whether you are here for a day or a week, you are going to be in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Utah in September is hard to beat. If you are turning this into a longer trip, we’re so excited for you! Utah is home to five national parks and some of the best landscapes in the world if you want to explore more of the state. We’ve included some of our favorite things to do near Salt Lake City and our venue if you are looking to add to your trip!

Guardsmans Pass Overlook

Guardsman Pass Road, Park City, UT 84060

This is a popular scenic drive with incredible views, and we’ve even seen moose here a few times! We recommend driving up Big Cottonwood Canyon and stopping at Brighton Ski Resort for the views or a short hike. (Pro tip: you can take the ski lift up the mountain and hike back down) Then continue over Guardsman Pass and drop down into Park City to explore afterward.

Mirror Lake Highway

Utah 150, Kamas, UT 84036

Mirror Lake Highway is a scenic byway in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. It stretches 78 miles from Kamas, Utah, to the Wyoming border, offering breathtaking views of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The highway is known for its high elevation, reaching 10,715 feet at Bald Mountain Pass, and for the numerous lakes, trails, and campgrounds along the way. This is one of our favorite areas to camp and hike! There are many established campgrounds (they do book up in advance) as well as great places for disbursed camping. This can also be done as a day trip drive with short hikes & stops along the way!

Donut Falls Trail

Donut Falls Trail, UT 84121

3.3 mile out-and-back trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon (if you choose to do Gaurdsman's Pass Scenic Drive mentioned above, this hike would be on the way up the canyon before you turn to that drive). Generally considered an easy route. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking!
