Stay at Hyatt Place Park City, featuring modern accommodations and year-round amenities you can enjoy, including an on-site ski and snowboard gear shop. Whether you stay for a few days or longer, here are the best ways to enjoy a memorable mountain retreat.**

The mountains are breathtaking year-round, but they’re made for winter activities. Whether you ski, snowboard, snow tube, ice skate, or make hot chocolate a competitive event, the Park City region is the place to be for the season. The snow is powdery and plentiful, and there are runs for every skill level. 

Start your day with your pick of Park City hikes. Begin near town on the 4-mile-long Armstrong Trail, where you'll see wildflowers in summer and fiery red and yellow leaves come fall. Or experience Park City's mining heritage on the Daly Canyon Trail, where a path following a creek gradually leads you uphill to an iron bunker marked “Explosives” and other mining-era structures.

Relive the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City at the Utah Olympic Park. Here you can race down a bobsled track, speed down a zip line, complete a ropes course, go extreme tubing down a ski jump, watch Olympic hopeful ski jumpers train, and visit the Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum.

Explore Park City's history on Main Street, where preserved Victorian-era mining structures house modern restaurants, bars, and art galleries. Browse dozens of specialty retail shops and more than 20 art galleries in these reimagined spaces. Delve further into the area's history at the Park City Museum, with exhibits on silver mining, skiing, and Wild West saloons. For a break from walking Main Street, you can hop aboard the free town trolley. 

Summer brings big-name bands to Park City's many outdoor amphitheaters. Pack a blanket for shows under the stars most weekends (and some weekdays) at the area's ski resorts. You can catch intimate performances at Park City Song Summit, usually held in August.

From June through September, Park City's Main Street transforms itself into Park Silly Sunday Market, an open-air street festival featuring everything from artisan crafts to local produce and live music. Grab a bite to eat at food trucks lining the block, then sip a build-your-own Bloody Mary or craft beer in the beer garden for those of legal age. (Note: The event is not held on certain dates in July or all of August.) 

Wednesday brings the Park City Farmers Market to the Park City Mountain First Time parking lot, where you can shop for locally made treats and gifts.

Whether you love unwinding with a pedicure or a massage, you'll find the perfect spot to relax in Park City. Enjoy facials, body treatments, saunas, and heated pools at one of many award-winning destinations.

Park City is a mountain biking mecca for avid riders. Take to the trails on downhill and singletrack trails at both area ski resorts or find more relaxed gravel riding on the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail. Once home to the railroad, this unpaved path now winds 28 miles through farmland and wetlands to Echo Reservoir.

Experience an adrenaline rush racing down one of the world's longest alpine slides. Ride a scenic chairlift up the mountain, grab a sled at the top, and control your speed as you race down the 3,000-foot concrete course.

Summer and fall welcomes festival season to Park City. In early August, art lovers flock to the city to see works by renowned artists at the Kimball Arts Festival. On Labor Day, Park City celebrates Miners Day, a community event filled with mining competitions, a pancake breakfast, live music, and social events. In early October, the Park City Wine Festival features culinary experiences and grand tastings throughout town.

No matter what activities you choose, there's plenty on the menu in Park City, Utah, during the summer and fall seasons.
