Park City

The thrill-seeker’s paradise is far more than a winter ski vacation destination; the sprawling, pristine hillsides of Park City offer everything from rides on Utah’s largest elevated alpine coaster to the chance to ride the bobsled track in Utah Olympic Park. Shop the quaint, friendly downtown for buckskin and boots so you can dance the night away in Park City’s rollicking pub scene.
