Home to the “world’s greatest snow”, Park City, UT is one of the planet’s most popular ski and snowboard destinations. The area has even hosted the Winter Olympic Games. But as spring arrives and the snow dissipates for the summer season, the surrounding Wasatch Mountains continue to offer plenty of scenic beauty and lots of alternative outdoor recreation.
In fact, when it comes to great Park City vacation packages, the spring and summer seasons are simply full of adventure and savings.
Park City provides outdoor enthusiasts with some of the very best mountain biking, road cycling and hiking available anywhere. Hikers and bikers alike are welcome on any section of the city’s more than 325 miles of public trails. And there are plenty of options to suit everyone’s tastes. From serene scenic rides and adrenaline filled descents down steep terrain, Park City has it all. The town’s three ski resorts also offer lift-served, single and double-track mountain biking.
If you prefer some calmer recreational activity like trout fishing, it seems there is a crystal-clear river or stream just around every bend. So grab a pole and send a line across the cool mountain waters.
Golfers also feel right at home in Park City. With breathtaking mountain vistas, cool dry breezes and clear blue skies, it’s hard to find a more idyllic setting for golf. The area offers a variety of championship courses including the Park City Golf Club. This premiere public course features well kept greens, a stunning layout and one of the best finishing holes anywhere. And at an elevation of 6,700 feet, the course can actually add distance to your shots.
At nearby Wasatch Mountain State Park, you can also find the challenging Mountain Course uniquely carved out of the mountain’s natural contours. Enjoy scenic vistas overlooking the Heber Valley. And experience the mountain’s natural habitat with occasional sightings of roaming deer, elk, wild turkeys, moose and other wildlife. The state park also offers a Lake Course, featuring gentler terrain, tree-lined fairways and eight lakes and ponds to keep things interesting for duffers and low handicappers alike.
