Recreation in Park City & Deer Valley

 

 

 

Top 5 Winter Activities

 

 

Skiing/Snowboarding: Park City has the luxury of having more recreational opportunities than most other towns in America. With Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons® Resorts within a few miles of each other, winter slopes and summer trails are abundant.

Park City Recreation

 

 

Cross-Country Skiing: Cross-country skiing on groomed trails is a favorite winter sport in Park City. In addition, Park City has hundreds of roads and trails in its National Forests and on BLM land, which are ideal for cross-country skiing. There are mountain top routes, tracks through snow-dusted red rock, historic trails... even some of our snowed-in golf courses get into the act.

 

 

Snowshoeing: The Utah landscape provides many opportunities for snowshoe enthusiasts. Bring your own, or rent from one of many providers. Snowshoeing provides a simple, cheap and easy way to experience the state's snow and mountains.

 

 

Snow Tubing: Sit down on your tube and let a tow cable pull you to the top of the mountain. The smooth ride up the hill is fast and enjoyable and the rest it provided while heading to the top made it as pleasurable as the ride down the slope.

 

 

Snowmobiling: With over 800 miles of groomed snowmobiling trails from the red rock canyons of Southern Utah to the rugged mountains in the Northern reaches of the state, Utah has plenty of snowmobiling options. Eight unique snowmobiling complexes are located across the state with interlinking trail systems.

 

 

 

Top 5 Summer Activities

 

 

Golfing: Park City's Golf courses are famous for their scenery, conditions, and variety. In every corner of the state, golf retreats offer spectacular surroundings at affordable prices. And because of Park City's climatic mix, it's possible to find perfect golf weather somewhere in the state at almost every time of year. The cool alpine greens of courses near Park City provide a perfect summer escape.

 

 

Mountain & Road Biking: The surrounding mountains and hills of Park City offer more than 335 miles of public trails for mountain bikers. Rated by Mtn. Bike Action magazine as one of the ten best mountain destinations, Deer Valley Resort has over 50 miles of panoramic single and double track trails as well as challenging mountain road biking for those looking to push their limits.

 

 

Hiking: Park City enjoys over 300 miles of single track hiking, biking and multi-use trails in Park City alone without including other neighboring community trails. The Mountain Trails Foundation offers detailed trail maps of these trails and can be found at various businesses around town.

 

 

Park City Recreation

 

 

Boating: The 5 man made lakes, Jordanelle, Deer Creek, Echo and Rockport reservoirs offer boaters activities such as fishing, water skiing, tubing, wave runners, jet ski's or just enjoying a lazy day floating around soaking up the ray's.

 

 

Fly Fishing: Utah fly fishing anglers seeking "the big one" will be thrilled with the variety of big fish. A Utah fly fishing trip can be organized any time of year with the help of knowledgeable guides who are ready to teach the secrets of the wily Utah fish.

Winter 2010 - 2011: NEVER Too Much of a Good Thing!

The overwhelming topic of discussion in Park City this spring was the incredible 2010-2011 ski season, which produced record snowfall and provided a welcomed boost to visitor numbers.

 

 

Well folks, the fun isnt quite finished! As beautiful summer weather begins to dawn on Park City, skiers and boarders are receiving a dual blessing of more than 15 feet of snow still available at certain Utah resorts. Indeed, the New York Times recentlypublished an article heralding the extensive snowpack at Snowbird and Snowbasin, which remain open for riding, despite the fact that it is Summer.

For those who cant wait to hit the hiking and biking trails, the recently warm temperatures have thawed most paths at lower elevations, with the higher elevation trails above town promising to emerge in time for plenty of summer activity. Local nonprofit Mountain Trails Foundation posts trail condition updates regularly on their web site (www.mountaintrails.org), which is a great resource for locals and visitors alike.

Outdoorsy social activities dominate the Park City summer calendar, from the Mountain Trails Foundations Tuesday night trail runs to open-air concerts and plenty of biking and running events. The Park City Chamber of Commerce/Visitor and Convention Bureau maintains a schedule online at www.parkcityinfo.com, which eases the convenience of trying to pack in as much fun as possible!

Welcome to summer in Park City. Whether going solo or meeting up with friends, is there any better way to spend a weekend than hitting the areas world-renowned network of trails for a quick mountain bike ride or jog afterward?

Just another day in the life of those of us who are lucky enough to call Park City home.

Great Reasons to Own Park City Real Estate

Are you looking for a second home, a holiday destination or a new place to live? Then Park City real estate can really fit the bill. The New York Times rated Park City as No. 9 in their "2011 41 places to go in the world."

In North America for 2010 to 2011, the #1 ranked ski resort is Deer Valley, a Park City neighborhood. Deer Valley is sixth in Barron's Magazine's "Top Second Home Communities" list for the fourth year in a row. And for any portfolio, Park City real estate is a definite must.

There will be four new hotels, a golf event, and extended fields of ski resorts all opening up soon to give residents and visitors better access to discover the mountain. Deer Valley Montage launched a 220-room mid-Craftsman style mountain lodge in December 2010. It offers ski-in ski-out access, gas fireplaces in every room, and spa. Other establishments that have opened are the St. Regis Deer Crest, Park City Waldorf Astoria and the Hyatt Lodge Escala.

300 acres of new ski and snowboarding terrain includes 10 new tracks ranging from short to intermediate located in the Canyons resort. They are also introducing what is appointed as the first heated chairlift in North America. There will also be the opening of an after-ski "beach." It is a place where people meet to enjoy the Beach style outdoor chairs, food from the stations, cocktail, and astonishing views of the mountain. This is definitely where the best ski resorts in the country are.

Park City is now better than ever as its tourism grows because of its prime location. Park City is 32 miles east of Salt Lake City and 40 minutes from the airport in Salt Lake. The picturesque mountains, majestic Wasatch of Utah, the counties of Summit and Wasatch, have hidden a place as amazing as this.

More facts: Park City, Utah cradled the Winter Olympics 2002. It is also home to the Sundance Film Festival and the "Greatest Snow on Earth."

There are a number of outdoor attractions in Park City, Utah:

  • Snowboarding
  • Skiing
  • Hiking
  • Fishing
  • Biking 300 miles trail
  • Golf Courses (20 minutes from the Park City)
