Park City Main Street
**Take Gaurdsman Pass for a beautiful drive you'll never forget! About 40min**. Nestled in the valley flanked by Park City Mountain Resort on one side, and Deer Valley on the other, Park City is a fun mountain town. Main street has plenty of galleries, coffee shops, shopping, restaurants & bars. We recommend downtown for light bites, beers and site-seeing! "No Name Bar & Grille" is a great spot to visit & has a deck! If time allows, we love "Park Silly Market" on Sundays where they close off Main Street for a massive farmers market with a lot to offer! ** We recommend just using the parking garage for parking! Maybe you'll get street parking if your are having a lucky day!

Homestead Crater
The Crater is a geothermal HOT spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock. Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface — eventually forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit called The Homestead Crater. The hole at the top of the dome lets in sunlight and fresh air while the interior stays heated by the mineral water at a constant range of 90 – 96 degrees Fahrenheit. RESERVATION ONLY! Monday-Thursday 11:30 AM – 8:00 PM Friday-Saturday 9:30 AM – 8:00 PM Sunday 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM Midway town square is swiss inspired & adorable. It just a few minutes from Homestead Crater and a great place to grab lunch and walk around.
