Park City is a mountain town in Utah's Wasatch Range, about half an hour's drive from Salt Lake City. It began as a silver mining camp in the nineteenth century, and after the mines declined it reinvented itself as a ski resort town. It hosted events during the 2002 Winter Olympics and is home to the Sundance Film Festival, though the festival is moving to Boulder, Colorado.
Historic Main Street climbs a steep hill lined with restored buildings now filled with galleries, restaurants and bars. The Egyptian Theatre, dating to the 1920s, still stages performances, and the Park City Museum covers the town's mining past. Skiing is the main winter draw, with Park City Mountain, one of the largest ski areas in the country, and Deer Valley Resort, known for its groomed runs and ski-only policy. Utah Olympic Park, a legacy of the 2002 Games, offers museums and the chance to watch athletes train. The McPolin Farm, with its white barn, is a local landmark at the town's entrance. In warmer months, Round Valley and the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail are used for hiking and cycling, and Jordanelle State Park offers boating on a reservoir.
Park City suits skiers in winter and hikers, mountain bikers and families in summer. Its closeness to Salt Lake City makes it easy to reach, and it can be visited year-round.

The heart of Park City, a steep street of restored silver-mining era buildings now holding galleries, restaurants, bars and shops. It hosts a summer Sunday market and festive winter lights. Tip: park in the China Bridge garage or ride the free city bus instead of driving up.
A 1926 theatre on Main Street with Egyptian Revival decoration, built during the craze after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. It hosts live music, comedy and plays all year and was a long-time Sundance venue. Tip: check the schedule and book ahead for weekend shows.
A museum in the old city hall on Main Street that tells the story of the town's silver mining boom, its decline and rebirth as a ski resort. Visitors can see the original territorial jail in the basement. Tip: the museum also runs guided walking tours of Old Town.
A free museum inside the lodge at Utah Olympic Park covering Utah's ski history and the 2002 Winter Olympics, with interactive displays and a virtual ski jump. It shares the building with the Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum. Tip: combine it with a park tour.
One of the largest ski areas in the United States, with over 7,300 acres linked by the Quicksilver gondola. In summer, lifts serve mountain biking and hiking, and the Alpine Coaster runs down the slope. Tip: the Town Lift connects Main Street directly to the mountain.
A ski resort known for groomed runs, limited ticket sales and fine dining, and it does not allow snowboards. It hosted Olympic freestyle events in 2002. In summer it offers lift-served mountain biking and outdoor concerts. Tip: book lift tickets early on holidays, as they sell out.
The venue for ski jumping, bobsled and luge at the 2002 Winter Olympics, still used by athletes for training. Visitors can watch freestyle jumpers land in a pool in summer, take a bobsled ride, or try zip lines and a ropes course. Tip: check the training schedule online.
A whiskey distillery and restaurant in a historic livery stable and garage at the bottom of Main Street, near the Town Lift. It serves its own whiskeys alongside hearty western food and tasting flights. Tip: reservations are recommended, especially on ski days.
A historic white barn and farmhouse at the entrance to Park City, now city-owned open space. A short trail and a tunnel under the highway connect to longer paths, and seasonal barn tours explain its dairy farming past. Tip: it is a favorite photo spot at sunset.
Round Valley is a large open space with many miles of easy trails for walking, biking and winter fat biking. Nearby, the Rail Trail follows an old railroad line for about 28 miles toward Echo Reservoir. Tip: dogs are welcome on many Round Valley trails off leash.
A large reservoir a short drive east of town with beaches, boat rentals, campgrounds and fishing. In summer it is busy with paddleboarders and wakeboarders, and in winter it is used for ice fishing. Tip: the Hailstone area has the most facilities, and a day-use fee applies.
A nature preserve of wetlands and meadows at Kimball Junction with boardwalks and trails for spotting birds, moose and other wildlife. The EcoCenter has exhibits on local ecology and a viewing tower. Tip: check the EcoCenter hours, as it is not open every day.
