The Best Sight in Park City and the Wasatch Back, Park City and the Southern Wasatch

Background Illustration for Sights

Park City and the surrounding area hosted the lion's share of skiing and sliding events during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and the excited spirit of the Games is still evident around town. Visitors often enjoy activities at the Utah Olympic Park or simply taking candid photos at various memorable sports venues.

The city also serves as an excellent base camp for summer activities. Hiking trails are plentiful. A scenic drive over Guardsman Pass is now mostly paved and passable for most vehicles, providing incredible mountain vistas. There are top-rated golf courses, hot-air ballooning is popular, and mountain bikers find the ski slopes and old mining roads truly exceptional pedaling. With so much to offer both summer and winter visitors, dozens of hotels of all levels have sprung up to complement the three resorts, each with its own scene.

Both Park City ski resorts consistently earn high skier-snowboarder rankings. Whereas Park City Mountain Resort is known for its central location, superb family amenities, and gnarly parks and pipes for snowboarders and free skiers, Deer Valley is in a peaceful spot at the edge of town and is renowned for its creature comforts—and its prohibition on snowboarding. A city-run free shuttle-bus system serves the resorts.
