Enjoying Park City
Hiking and Swimming
Park City has the perfect hike for your next outdoor adventure! Hundreds of miles of trails twist through Aspen groves and meadows and climb to majestic peaks around Park City. You can take your pick from easy family-friendly hikes to more challenging trails for experienced hikers. Some of our favorites include Lake Blanche if you're looking for something beautiful and remote with possible moose sightings, Bloods Lake, with the opportunity to swim at two lakes, Mirror Lake, a short hike to a swimmable lake with cliff jumping, Mount Raymond via Butler Fork for a stunning peak with less hiking traffic, Stewart Falls for a gorgeous short hike near Sundance Resort, Holly's Trail, a short trail located right on the Canyons, accessible from the village, or Timpanagos if you’re feeling crazy. Please feel free to message Haley or Michael for more recommendations!
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking on an open mountain trail is a feeling a freedom, a feeling of exhilaration, a feeling that taps into travel at its core: Sometimes you just need to be on the move! Take control of your wanderlust and spend your days climbing, cruising or just meandering throughout the 450+ miles of public trails available in Park City's mountains. For expert downhill, we recommend Deer Valley Resort. For intermediate bikers looking for a short day of biking with some uphill work and downhill cruising, we recommend the Canyons Resort, where you can either bike up Holly's from the base or take the gondola. For bikers of all levels looking for a short day trip, the most scenic downhill area and one of our favorites is the Sundance Mountain Resort—if you make the trip, stop at Judy's Donuts in Midway on the way to the resort and eat lunch outside at Sundance Deli.
Walk, Eat, and Shop
Be sure to hit the Park City shops or simply stroll on the famous Historic Main Street! We’re talking fantastic dining (keep scrolling for our recommendations!) and shopping for handmade furniture, books, sportswear, unique art collectibles, and Western antiques. Looking for western apparel to strut at the welcome party? Look no further than Burns, Kemosabe, and Overland. For fantastic dining and ambience, head to Grappa, Shabu, and High West for dinner, or Harvest and Atticus Coffee for breakfast or lunch. For drinks, everyone loves No Name Saloon, High West Distillery, and the Spur. Looking for something more low-key, or the opportunity to dine al fresco with views and/or live music? Go no further than some of our favorite restaurants outside Main Street, including Blind Dog, Five 5eeds, Ritual Coffee, and Silver Star Cafe. For high-end dining with a view, we recommend the outdoor dining at the St Regis, Deer Valley, where you can take a funicular up the mountain.
Boating
There’s plenty to do and see when visiting Jordanelle State Park — from camping to hiking to wildlife watching; and having a beautiful, clear reservoir located within the park affords visitors even more outdoor recreation to enjoy. Whether you want to spend a relaxing afternoon fishing for smallmouth bass or teach the kids how to waterski and wakeboard, the marina at Jordanelle Rentals has a variety of boating options and every other water activity imaginable.
Park City Fly Fishing
Park City may have the greatest snow on earth, but the town isn’t just for skiers. When the snow melts, all those steep ski runs turn into dusty single tracks for mountain bikers and trail runners. Plus, all that melted snow needs to go somewhere. By May, all that powder becomes some of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in the Wasatch Range.
Utah Balloon Flights
Take in the absolute best views of Park City with a hot air balloon ride high above the town. Gaze out over Kamas Valley as you ascend thousands of feet into the sky with the Wasatch Mountains forming a rugged skyline to the west and the streets of Park City gradually getting smaller and smaller.
Whiskey Tasting
Take a tour of the High West Distillery of this famed local brand of whiskey located in Wanship, UT- about 30 min from downtown Park City
Golf
You can golf in Park City the same day you fly in. The hard part is deciding which Park City golf course you should play first. Park City and the surrounding area are home to seven public and eight private courses. For beautiful views, drive to Soldier Hollow or Wasatch Mountain Golf Course. For a really challenging course within walking distance of the wedding block, check out the Canyons Golf at Canyons Resort.
Alpine Slide
Offering over 3,000 feet of a luge-like track, Park City's Alpine Slide is one of the longest slides in the world! Plus, as part of the experience, guests enjoy a scenic chair lift ride on the PayDay chairlift to the start of the Alpine Slide
Utah Olympic Park
Just outside of downtown Park City, the Utah Olympic Park still buzzes with excitement that one might have expected when the Park hosted five events during the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Summer activities include - summer bobsledding, zip lining, summit adventure course, extreme tubing, scenic chairlifts, air jumping, and much more.
Road Trip!
Embark on an unforgettable adventure before or after the wedding! We recommend taking a road trip through Utah and the greater Southwest, where awe-inspiring national parks, breathtaking lakes, and the captivating charm of Moab await. Whether it's Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Zion, Lake Powell, or the Grand Canyon, there are no wrong turns to be made.
