Sightseeing

Old town skiers bridge There’s something so fun about driving up Park Ave on the way to Main Street, with the ski lift turning overhead and skiers gliding across the bridge. Although we're usually jealous that they’re skiing and we’re driving, it is an incredibly unique aspect of our town. The ability to ski right into Old Town for lunch or an Après Ski cocktail or to catch the lift right from Main Street is something we all cherish.

FAVORITE TRAILS All 400 Miles of Them! Many of you know Park City has been recognized by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) as the first Gold Level Ride Center in the world, with “Epic” ride status designated for the Mid Mountain Trail, Armstrong and Pinecone trail connection, and the Wasatch Crest Trail. But what we love as locals is the non-motorized paved trail that runs from Old Town all the way to Kimball and into the Basin’s neighborhoods. We can hop on a bike or walk just about anywhere we like.

FAVORITE MUSEUM Park City Historic Museum Located at 528 Main Street, the Park City Museum offers interactive exhibits, artifacts, and the city’s original basement jail. It’s fascinating to learn how we went from the boom of the silver mining era, to bust, to the introduction of skiing as a way to breathe life into Park City. It is hard to believe that Park City almost became a ghost town in the 1960s! Spend an hour or half a day at this wonderful museum.

FAVORITE NATURE CENTER Swaner Nature Preserve & EcoCenter You may have noticed the lack of rooftops between Redstone at Kimball Junction and Ranch Place. Thanks to the generosity of the Swaner family, who donated all the land for the preserve and ongoing stewardship by Utah State University, the Swaner Preserve encompasses a 1,200 acre wildlife refuge, a state-of-the-art environmental education facility, a 100 acre farm, and 10 miles of trails. Their webcams showing wildlife and sandhill cranes are a nice diversion when you need a little break from the office routine. You can turn up the volume to enjoy the unique trumpeting call of these magnificent birds or elks bugling. They’ll be back any day now!

Favorite Barn We love that we have two historic barns along our entry corridor, harkening back to the days when agriculture and dairy farming were widespread. The Wallin Farm Barn and acreage just north of the Ranch Place neighborhood was acquired by the Swaner Nature Preserve in 2003 and is surrounded by 107 acres of open space.

FAVORITE OLYMPIC VESTIGE One-of-a-Kind Olympic Park The visual of the Nordic ski jumps as you enter Park City sends a clear message to visitors - this is a serious snow sports town. Built as part of the infrastructure for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, the Olympic Park is a vibrant amenity within our community. It includes the ski jumps, bobsled and luge track, freestyle jumping facilities, and ski team racing runs. The Olympic Park is also home to the wonderful Alf Engen Museum, where you can learn more about the Olympic legacy that is embraced by our whole community. In the summer the Park doesn't lose a step, offering zip line and ropes courses, as well as the opportunity to watch freestyle skiers practice flips and twists before landing in a special aerated pool. We also love that during the COVID shut down, the Park City Film series hosted drive-in movies there, a tradition we hope continues this summer.

FAVORITE PEOPLE/DOG PARK Willow Creek Park Located off Old Ranch Road on Split Rail Lane in the Basin, this 17.5-acre park includes three playing fields, four pickleball/tennis courts, volleyball, an exercise par course, and two playgrounds. For our furry friends, there’s a fabulous off-leash dog park with a pond and diving dock. Added bonus: winter ice skating! It’s a wonderful neighborhood gathering spot, which also provides access to the Willow Creek trailhead. This trailhead offers a connection to many of the Basin’s spectacular trails, including the East Highway 224 Connector Trail and the new Osguthorpe Nordic skiing area. Please remember to keep Fido leashed until you enter the dog park!

Food scene

While the High West Saloon in Old Town is a popular spot, we love that their shop is open daily from 11:00 am – 9:00 pm. You can get limited editions of great whiskeys in addition to branded apparel and swag. And yes, you can buy whiskey on Sundays! Additionally, you can now place online orders for their award-winning whiskeys to be delivered to your non-Utah residence, so you don’t have to schlep bottles home.
