Park City Information & Recreation
Winter
made Park City famous!!
Three
World Class Ski Resorts are located just
minutes away from the Park City Peaks
Hotel: Deer Valley, Park City Mountain
Resort, and The Canyons. Another eight
ski resorts are within one hour's drive!
All are blanketed with the "Greatest
Snow on Earth"! Spend clear alpine
winter days skiing, snow boarding, snow-shoeing
or snowmobiling and then take an evening
dip in the Park City Peaks Hotel heated
indoor/outdoor swimming pool while gazing
at the stars.
As
the days warm up, enjoy some great spring
skiing in your shorts! Take a day hike
through the vivid greens of a mountain
spring or just relax in the fresh air
and admire the delicate wild flowers that
cover the hills. The spring season is
a peaceful time to savor Park City.
Summer
offers a host of recreational opportunities
along with local art and music festivals.
Park City's summer climate beckons you
outdoors. Visit one of Park City's ski
resorts and enjoy lift served mountain
biking or an exciting ride down the Alpine
Slide or Bobsled. Take a leisurely stroll
down Historic Main Street and shop in
the unique stores. Grab a sweater and
take in an outdoor evening symphony or
concert.
Autumn
turns the mountains of Park City into
a glorious palette of reds, oranges, pinks
and yellows. Brilliant short sleeve days
give way to crisp nights with a touch
of frost in the air. Play an unfettered
round of golf amidst blazing fall colors.
Whichever
season you choose to visit Park City,
we guarantee that you'll find plenty of
things to do. You can always choose to
just relax, order room service and let
the Park City Peaks Hotel take care of
the rest! You'll feel the difference in
our personalized service.
