Park City is an attractive resort town in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains, just 32 miles east of Salt Lake City. Once a thriving silver mining town, in the mid-twentieth century Park City transformed itself into to a skiing mecca for skiers from all over the world. Three world-class ski resorts are just minutes from downtown: Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and The Canyons.
With accommodations for more than 14,000 visitors, Park City was one of the major centerpieces of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Over 100 restaurants and shops line the historic streets in a scenic downtown area, reminiscent of its silver-mining past.
In the summer, Park City still remains a very popular destination. With nearly every outdoor activity available, whether it be mountain biking, golfing, hiking, fishing, white-water rafting, or even paragliding, tourists and locals alike keep active all summer long. The mountains are even more beautiful once the snow melts, and visitors can ride the lifts up and descend on foot, mountain bike, or ride the alpine slide.
Year round cultural events, such as the ?Artstravaganza˙ in August and the renowned Sundance Film Festival in February, bring a wide variety of international travelers to Park City, creating a cosmopolitan vibe not often found in this part of the country. Comfortable temperatures invite visitors to explore the scenic outdoors, play golf, fish, or look for wildlife. View Area Map.
