Crafts and Drafts
Everyone loves craft beer, right? We think so, too. Craft beer is perfect to refresh yourself after a long hike through the dense forest or to ‘warm up’ after a long day of skiing on the cold slopes. No matter what time of year, craft beer is refreshing, tasty, and strong. And if you’re looking for local and tasty pours, there is nowhere better than the State Road Tavern.
Head here on November 8th between 6 and 9 pm to sip on a few pints of craft beer and take part in an arts and crafts evening. You can make a stocking stuffer or a heartfelt gift for your friend or family member as you have some beer in the process — hopefully not too many!
Karaoke Nights
Get in the Christmas spirit by heading to the Bronco Entertainment venue to sing your heart out and listen to other karaoke-goers try their best to remember the lyrics and get the crowd on their feet. Karaoke Nights on November 10th between 7 and 10 pm at the State Road Tavern is a great way to get your entire group laughing, singing, and having fun.
Greet Santa
If you are going to Park City with your kids this holiday season, you can’t miss the arrival of the infamous Santa Claus. Head to the Town Lift Plaza in the heart of Park City to greet Santa and his popular reindeer. Make sure you get here before 5 pm to get a great seat, purchase a cup of hot cocoa as the sun starts to go down and munch on some holiday cookies as you wait for Good Ol’ Saint Nick to arrive.
SnowFest
One of the most popular events of the entire year is SnowFest. For two weeks in December, right up until New Year’s Eve, SnowFest takes the city by storm. This 16-day event features musical concerts, local artist installations, entertainment, and much more.
Torchlight Parade
See the sky light up at night — no, not for the twinkling and dazzling stars in the black night sky — but from the torches as you march along the street of Park City Mountain Resort. You can even see Santa skiing down the hill before he gets ready to drop off presents for the good kids who live in Park City. Then, watch as other instructors, pro skiers, and snowboarders wind down the mountain in the dark, giving the crowd tons to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ about.
Make sure you bring your camera, too, so you can take pics of your children with St. Nick with the mountain as the picturesque backdrop.
New Year’s Eve Celebration
Ring in 2024 by heading to Park City and celebrating with your friends and family! There is no better way to celebrate the new year and wish for good things to come by being surrounded by all of your loved ones, live music, and good vibes. You can even take a sleigh ride with your kids through the beautiful streets of this incredible mountain town as the last bits of snowfall in 2023. Then, enjoy live music, sing along, and watch the breathtaking fireworks display at 7 pm.
As you can see, there is so much you can do if you had to go to Park City this upcoming winter season. Meet Santa, purchase last-minute Christmas gifts for your friends or family, listen to live music, sing along to Christmas carols, and explore the picturesque downtown area and nearby ski slopes of this incredible town in Utah. Stay in one of our luxurious homes or one of our Park City ski-in ski-out rentals as you wake up on Christmas morning to the sound of the fire roaring, snow falling, and sleigh bells ringing in the air. It couldn’t be more perfect for a winter wonderland holiday.
Are you an avid skier? Even if you have not migrated past going down the green runs or the blue slopes, you might find that you love the lifestyle of après ski, going for a beer after a long day on the slopes, or spending the entire day on the mountain, whizzing down the manicured trails at a super-fast speed.
Instead of just relaxing all vacation long, going skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing can seem like heaven. Right? We think so, too! There is no place better in the entire United States to get the perfect vibe of a fun mountain town than Park City, UT. Utah is well known for its pristine powder and great weather, and Park City is arguably the most famous of all cities for its high-end resorts that offer hundreds of slopes, après ski restaurants, and boutique shopping options.
But where should you stay if you are planning a trip to Park City this upcoming winter season? We have an idea in mind! Get your ski pass, buy your ski shoes, and choose your favorite pair of ski boots, as you will be staying in the modern and luxurious Park City Ski Ya Later Studio in Park City.
We absolutely love this Park City ski property for athletes who are interested in lacing up their boots at the beginning of the day, putting on their skis, and heading out for hours on end. Plus, at the end of a long day, you can ski right back here, unclip from your skis, and walk into your property. Simple as that!
The Ski Ya Later Studio is right at the base of the Park City Canyons Village, which is uncontestably the best spot in the entire mountain town for those who want close proximity to the slopes, mountains, restaurants, and shopping boutiques. This studio offers pristine mountain views that will greet you as soon as you wake up every morning, giving you the motivation to get out of bed as soon as the sun rises!
Cozy Bedroom
Just because this is a studio, it doesn’t mean that it skimps on the sleeping space. The studio offers cozy bedding, plush pillows, soft linens, and a relaxing atmosphere that is conducive for a full 8-10 hours of sleep. This studio has a king-sized bed that is large enough for you to spread out by yourself and stretch your aching muscles or share with your friend or partner during your exercise-filled holiday.
You can turn on your favorite show on the smart TV to wind down before bed, gaze out of the window at the fresh snowfall, and use the en-suite bathroom to freshen up in the morning before you hit the slopes. Use the large glass shower to rinse the ‘travel’ off or warm up after a few hours of skiing in cold conditions.
Amenities
Along with the cozy interior, spacious floor plan, and high-end add-ons (like a smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, cozy bedding, and a kitchenette), the community also features amenities that you won’t find in hotel rooms, hostels, or dorms in the area. Our property has community amenities that make your stay even more enjoyable for short or long-term stays!
The Ski Ya Later Studio has dozens of amenities that are at your disposal for the duration of your entire stay. You can use the heated pool to do a few laps early in the morning or soak your aching muscles after a day of skiing. If you are a bit cold after spending hours and hours on a blustery mountain, then enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of hot cocoa in the hot tub before heading in for bed.
We also recommend using one of the pool cabanas in the summer months to get a tan, read a book, or take a mid-day nap before going back out to explore all that Park City has to offer. You can also use the community game room to challenge your friends to some friendly competition!
Other amenities offered in the studio include air conditioning, which can come in handy on hot summer days, especially after long hikes in the nearby peaks, hours on the water, or a multi-hour biking excursion on the windy roads of Park City.
You can also use the super-fast high-speed Wi-Fi to do remote work, field conference calls, and stay in touch with your friends while you are on vacation. We know that sometimes you may need to work, which is why the studio is big enough to use your laptop at a desk, and the Wi-Fi is strong enough for you to download items, field Zoom calls, and host long meetings.
Things to Do in the Local Area
Along with going skiing right out of your front doorstep, you are also just a few meters away from the Village Center. Head here to meet other solo travelers, get some shopping done, enjoy the nearby cafes and get a cup of coffee before hitting the fresh powder early in the morning.
You can also drive to other ski resorts if you want a change of scenery, like the nearby Park City Mountain Resort or Deer Valley Resort, with both being less than 6.4 miles from your door. If you want to learn more about the area and centuries past, Historic Main Street is only 5 miles from your Park City ski property, giving you a chance to learn more about the town, go shopping for souvenirs to bring back home, and enjoy a drink for après ski celebrations.
Park City is one of the best spots to head to for vacation at any time of the year. If you head here in the warmer months, you can go for a swim in the nearby bright blue lake to cool off on a hot day. Or, head up to one of the tallest peaks to go hiking, catch photos of the nearby wildlife, and enjoy viewpoints that are just unbeatable. Cool off after a strenuous hike or a day of kayaking on the lake with an ice-cold beer from one of the breweries or bars in the downtown area of Park City.
But, when you come here in the last fall and early winter, the weather starts changing! We think this is the best time to come here. You can enjoy slightly cooler days, long sunshine hours, fewer crowds, and the changing of the leaves. There is nothing prettier than the changing of the leaves to autumnal hues, like bright orange and red, as you hike to the top of the nearby paths. And before you know it, you can lace up your ski boots and get ready to hit the trails!
Let’s check out some of the top things to do this Park City Thanksgiving and holiday season when you visit Park City as a solo traveler, with your best mates, or with your close family.
Go for a Wine Tasting
Park City is no stranger to great drinks, notably beer and wine. Attend a cheese and wine pairing class at the famous Fox School of Wine in Park City. You can try some of the best local cheese at the Park City Creamery paired expertly with the best sips of white, rose, or red wine. Learn more about how this nearby creamery makes mouthwatering cheese as you listen to the knowledgeable owner, Corrinee Zinn, and fill up with offerings from this unique tasting. You can also take a cooking class during your stay in Park City to cook dinner at home in your modern apartment!
Pamper Yourself and Enjoy a Spa Treatment
The holidays are truly a time to kick back, relax, and forget the stressors of your daily life. Head to one of the numerous spaces in the heart of Park City to clear up the acne on your face, enjoy a couple’s massage with your partner, or soak in the hot tubs to ease your aching muscles after a long hike.
We recommend going to Stein Eriken’s Spa and getting the signature treatment. This signature wellness treatment is designed to help detoxify and purify your skin by removing dead skin cells using cedar, sage, and salt crystals. This exfoliating polish and Vichy shower will leave your skin feeling flawless!
We also recommend the ‘Fusion’ package, including a body balance experience that helps you attain your specific wellness needs and goals. The Fusion package is tailored to you specifically, so you will feel rejuvenated and healthier leaving the spa. For those who want something chosen for them, the ‘True Bliss’ package includes a full-body exfoliation, hydrating body milk, deep tissue massage, and hot tea after the massage.
Enjoy Breakfast in Town
Of course, you can make breakfast at your own accommodation when you stay in one of our luxury offerings. But you can also head into downtown Park City to get some freshly baked bread, baked goods, pastries, hearty omelets, crispy bacon, and much more! Head to Deer Valley Grocery Cafe to pick up some premade food for an al fresco lunch, homemade sauces to bring back home, or a filling healthy breakfast to fuel you for your hike.
We also love going to Luna’s Kitchen for a breakfast filled with eggs your way, meat, cheese, bread, and a sweet treat to end the meal. Try one of their famous slices of apple pie or pumpkin cheesecake to really round out a hearty fall breakfast!
Check Out the Local Culture
The last thing that we think is a must-do during your time in Park City is to head to the town to marvel at the local artwork of artists, sculptors, and musicians at the Last Friday Gallery Stroll. This community event and exhibit highlights local artists and talented people who are keen to show their work! Art galleries throughout town will open their doors to visitors to show the skills of the local artists, including unique collections, sculptures, photographs, and installations. The Last Friday Gallery Stroll is open on the last Friday of every month at 6 pm, so you can easily grab some cocktails before or after the fun show.
Stay With Us at I Love Park City

Head outside and go boating, fishing, hiking, biking, or take it easy and go shopping — the possibilities are endless when you are thinking of the best holiday to take with your mates.
You need to be flexible when it comes to holiday planning. That is why you need to work with a company that knows what it is like to change plans and want your own accommodation.
Instead of renting multiple hotel rooms, trying to find a romantic Airbnb and overpaying, or staying in a crowded hostel, working with I Love Park City ensures you can get the best deal for your budget!
Park City, Utah, is arguably the best place to go in the entire country when it comes to those who love outdoor sports, culture, and great food. Park City is home to numerous ski slopes, mountains, hiking trails, downtown shopping areas, bustling restaurants, and cool places.
The possibilities here are truly endless when it comes to finding something that everyone in your group will enjoy doing during their holiday.
And when you stay with us, we know that you’ll always wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead of you. Park City Snowcrest 112 is a beautiful and cozy 1-bedroom Park City rental that offers tons of space for you and 3 other people to chill out, relax, and bond with one another this holiday season.
Common Space
This home is ideal for a solo trip, a couple’s getaway, or a family reunion. We love the cozy common space that is reminiscent of a friend’s home and log cabin, featuring wood paneling, a flatscreen TV to watch your favorite flick or show at the end of a long day, mountain views to encourage you to lace up your ski boots, and a queen sleeper sofa that is perfect for guests who want to stay the night! The leather couch and coffee table are great for setting out snacks, propping your tired feet up on the table, or playing a card game while you watch TV.
Modern Kitchen
The modern kitchen is great for those who love cooking and for those who are not adept in the kitchen! I don’t need to be a master chef to make use of this modern and functional space, featuring stainless steel appliances, ample granite countertop space for making snacks, and tons of storage cabinets for storing your snacks and non-perishable items. The kitchen also features bar seating for four people, so you and all your guests can sit at the bar and chat with one another, play cards, or enjoy a few beers together.
Sleeping Areas
The main bedroom in this beautiful Park City rental features a queen bed that is large enough for you or you and your partner to share. Curl up under the covers, rest your head on the fluffy pillows, feel the soft linen against your skin, and draw the blinds to shut out the light. Turn on the flatscreen TV and watch a DVD in the DVD player or a show before falling asleep at night. Then, wake up and find your outfit for the day in the sliding glass doors to your private closet!
If you want to rinse the ‘travel smell’ off you after a long flight or day in the car, you can use the full bath with a separate sink and tub/shower combo to refresh and feel cozy before starting your day. The bath is modern, big, and functional for all your guests to use!
Nearby Area
The last perk of our property when compared to other hotels or hostels in the area is the pristine location. You can stay here and use a car if you want, but you don’t have to. The house is just across the street from the Park City Mountain Resort, making it basically a ski-in and ski-out property that is perfect for snowbirds and those who want to tackle Black Diamond runs. You can also use the Park City Mountain Golf course in the summer or fall months, so make sure you bring your clubs and try hitting a hole-in-one on the course!
Lastly, you are just minutes from Historic Main Street, offering you walking distance to the best cafes, restaurants, and bars in the entire area! We recommend starting your day with a visit to The Bridge Cafe and Grill or Windy Ridge Cafe to get a strong espresso and a filling breakfast. Then, end your day with a trip to O.P. Rockwell or No Name Saloon Bar and Grill for tasty drinks and mouthwatering bar food!
There are tons of reasons for you to visit Park City, UT, all year round. During the winter, you can head here to go skiing and snowboarding on the pristine white slopes, filled with black Diamond runs that will get your heart pounding, and easy Green runs that are great for kids. In the spring, you can head out on the hiking rails to get in a good workout and walk high above the treetops. In the summer, spend an afternoon on the water to feel the cool breeze on your face and get a tan on your boat or kayak.
But we think the best time to visit Park City is the fall season when you can see the changing of the leaves, feel the wind on your face, take in the panoramic views from the top of the tallest mountains, sip on some ice-cold beers, and spend time with your loved ones. Plus, if you come here in the fall season, you can attend once-a-year annual Halloween Park City events that will truly knock your socks off!
Check out some of the top reasons why you and your family or friends should come to Park City this upcoming fall. Dress your best and see if your costume will be scary or sweet this October!

Have a Few Pints During Your Halloween Festivities
There are more than enough reasons for you to head to Park City, UT, but one of the main perks of heading to this fun and exciting city this upcoming Halloween season — beer! Park City is home to numerous breweries, bars, and wineries that are fun for you and your adult friends to head to if you are in the mood to have a casual beverage or party all night long.
If you are keen to have a fruity cider or a hoppy IPA, we recommend going to Park City Brewing in Park City, UT. Order one of the tasty apps and pair it with a refreshing pint as you finish up a hike in the nearby hills. Try the PC Brewing pretzel bites with spent beer grain, house-made grains, and beer cheese. If you would rather have something that pairs well with a Corona, try the tacos with your choice of smoked tri-tip, pork, or steak! We also love the fried chicken sando with a brioche bun, mayonnaise, red cabbage slaw, scallion, and pickle.
As you can see, there is SO much for you to do during a Halloween Park City, UT, getaway. Not only can you find things to do here all year round, but you definitely can during your spooky holiday season with your friends or family.

Get started planning your vacay now with the help of I Love Park City.
Are you in the mood to go skiing, snowboarding, or tubing this upcoming winter season? Well, we don’t blame you!

If this sounds like the perfect vacation for you and your friends or family this fall or winter, we have the place for you.

We guarantee that you will have an unforgettable holiday that will be fresh in your memory for years to come!
Head Out on a Hiking Trail
Instead of going to the same-old hiking spots that are usually overrun with locals, visitors, and their pups, we recommend going on the trails less traveled. There are dozens of hidden gems that you won’t find in the most popular guidebooks, providing you with comparable views and much less crowds. Talk about the ideal way to start your day!
We recommend going out on Dawn’s Trail if you want to start with an easy and moderate hike for you and your family. This is a great place to go trail running or bring your pup on a long walk on a breezy and chilly morning. This trail features tons of trees, leaves, and flowers, offering a picturesque vantage point for you to see the changing colors of the landscape and bond with your family.
Another fun trail for you to bring your children to is the Discovery Trailhead, featuring the Pale Green Dot downhill beginner trail, a New World multi-use trail for those with varied interests, or the Summit Park trails that offer a more challenging experience for avid hikers.
We also recommend taking the trip to the Ultimo National Forest in Eastern Summit County to really feel like you are in the middle of nature! Pack your backpack and head out on the Yellow Pine Trail to Yellow Pine Lake to take amazing photos and hop in the water for a dip at the end.
Lastly, we love the Quarry Mountain 2-mile loop for those who want an easy, fast, and simple path that provides perfect views of nearby farms, rolling hillsides, lush green forests, and the nearby Deer Valley Resort.
Grab a Beer
Feeling a bit parched after a long hike? We don’t blame you! The fall is still filled with tons of sunshine and warm weather, so you might be a bit dehydrated. The best thing to do now is to get something to drink and have a bite to eat – and we recommend going to one of the numerous breweries that is in Park City and the nearby countryside.
Check out High West Distillery and Saloon if you are in the mood to have FUN! We love this distillery in Park City that features an educational tour of the distillery, High West Saloon bar, and Old Western-themed decorations, après ski viewing deck for the colder fall days and winter months, and the organic food that pairs perfectly with a pint of an IPA or an oatmeal stout.
You can also head to the Wasatch Brewery to get a tasting board of the local beers, pair every pour with an appetizer for the table, and hang out with your friends. Don’t forget to bring along your pup to play with the other dogs and enjoy the outdoor ambiance.
If you are in the mood for a city-center brewery, the Red Rock Junction on Redstone Center Drive puts up a fight for the best Park City things to do in the entire city. Named the “Brewpub of the Year’ by Brewpub Magazine, this eatery offers a large food menu, tons of beers on tap, and organic fare that you won’t find elsewhere. We recommend ordering brie toast with fried sage and pear to make you feel healthy!
Try Some Other Sports
Lastly, we recommend trying some other sports during your time in Park City. Head out on horseback and wind around some of the dusty and undulating trails as you see the far-reaching views of wildflowers, slopes, hillsides, and birch forests. We also think that you and other adrenaline junkies should try their luck at Woodward Park City to learn some new skills, like skateboarding, and reach new heights.
Finally, Park City is home to miles and miles of mountain bike trails, so head to White Pine Touring to whizz down some steep slopes with a safe and professional instructor.
Are you looking for an incredible, spacious, and luxurious home for you and a large group of friends this upcoming summer? Maybe you are thinking ahead of time and want a perfect spot for you to hit the ski slopes in the wintertime and shred the gnarly snowboard trails. No matter when your vacation is or who you are going with, you want a large, modern, and cozy property that will be your ‘home away from home’ for the duration of your holiday!
Luckily for you, I Love Park City has just that. Check out Deer Valley Black Bear 408A Penthouse, a sprawling and beautiful Deer Valley property that offers everything you want — and more — for your vacation! This home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that are large enough for you and 9 of your very best friends.
This house is completely remodeled and redecorated, so you will be able to notice modern touches, personalized decorations, and cozy furnishings as soon as you walk in.
Cozy Living Room
The living room features new and modern furniture, featuring a plush and cozy couch that faces the TV, leather chairs ideal for sipping on happy hour drinks, a wooden coffee table for holding your coffee cups or playing a board game, and a plush rug to warm your feet after a long day of skiing.
You can sit and face the TV, turning on your favorite flick or show as you wind down after a long day of exploring. Or keep the blinds open and let in natural light through the large windows — we love sitting by the open windows and sipping on a cup of coffee as the light filters in!
Modern Kitchen
The modern kitchen features bar stools that are ideal for happy hour drinks with your friends. You can also set up a game of cards here or do some remote work on the granite countertop if you need to catch up on a few emails or Zoom calls. We love the open floor plan in the kitchen and the spacious design that makes it easy for you to move around, store your snacks in the cabinets, make a healthy dinner, or serve breakfast to your guests.
Use the stainless-steel oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, or coffee pot in just a few minutes — even if you are not a fancy chef, you will love using this functional space.
Plus, once you are done using the amenities and appliances to whip up a healthy snack or filling breakfast in just a few minutes, you can serve your guests at the round dining room table. The modern table and the backdrop outside of the windows provide the ideal ambiance for a wholesome meal with your best friends.
Comfortable and Plush Bedrooms
After a long day of skiing, shopping, exploring, or spending time with your guests, you might find it is finally time to hit the hay. And luckily for you, both of our bedrooms offer plush comforters, cozy bedding, fluffy pillows, natural light, and soft carpet on your feet.
The cozy master bedroom has a large king-size bed for you to split with your partner or friend — or use all for yourself! You can then turn on the 43” 4K Samsung smart TV and watch your favorite show before turning in for the night. We make it easy for you to recover, relax, and decompress after a long week of work or school.
And if you spent the entire day outside skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or just walking around town, you might want to freshen up before crawling under the cozy bedding. In this case, head to the attached master bathroom with a jet tub and shower combo, so you can soak in the tub to ease your aching muscles or take a quick shower before going to sleep.
We use modern tile, bright lighting, and ample counter space, so you have tons of room to get ready in the morning before heading out on the town for the day!
Not to mention, your guests will love the other bedrooms. There is a loft bedroom with a large, queen-sized bed that is large enough to fit two people. This spacious sleeping area also features four twin beds, so we think this is ideal for a family or a group of friends who want to hang out and chat at night before bed. You can all turn on the 60” Samsung smart TV and watch a movie before dozing off. Or challenge one another to some friendly competition on the Xbox One S Gaming Console!
As you can see, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to the height of luxury. We want to make sure you are happy and comfortable during your entire stay in this Deer Valley property. That is why we go above and beyond with our interior decorations, personal touches, and modern amenities.
Use I Love Park City today to start the holiday of your dreams!
Park City, UT, is one of the most famous places for those who enjoy outdoor activities, beer, wine, and good vibes! People flock here from all over the world to go hiking in the snow-capped mountains, ski in the beautiful resorts, sip on a fresh pint of ice-cold beer, and visit the nearby wineries. And one of the best times to visit Park City is in September. You will find fewer people, great weather, far-reaching views, and long days of sunshine that are conducive to being outside this holiday weekend.
Let’s check out some of the top things to do over a Park City Labor Day weekend for people with varying interests. There are once-a-year annual attractions that make the flight, drive, or short bus ride well worth it!
Murray Youth and Family Triathlon
If you want to get back into running, or you want to go on a nice jog with your kids, then the best way to start is by signing up for a family-friendly triathlon! You can get your kids into a fun and active sport by signing up for the Murray Youth and Family Triathlon in Park City on September 4th, 2023. This is a great way to kick off a fun Labor Day weekend in a healthy and wholesome way. Plus, you will have incredible views the entire time during your easy jog!
Snowbird Oktoberfest
The Snowbird’s Oktoberfest is one of the best reasons to come to Park City over Labor Day weekend! Of course, you can still take part in other outdoor activities and check out the cultural attractions — but what is better than having a huge stein of beer and celebrating with your pals?
Buy tickets for Oktoberfest at Snowbird to enjoy this family-friendly and exciting party that features German food, beer, outfits, decorations, and music. Throw on your lederhosen and hard to Park City to go dancing, buy some German wiener schnitzel, and sip on some German lager. Head here all day Saturday and Sunday to meet locals, chat with other tourists, and bring your kids to the family-friendly activities and games. We recommend getting here early on Saturday to listen to the Oktoberfest Halle Entertainment at 12 pm and the Alphones at the top of the Hidden Peak music at 3 pm.
Go Hiking!
Another fun activity for youth to do during your Labor Day weekend trip is to go hiking! What better way is there to burn off all that beer and have fun at the same time?
If you are in the mood for an easy trail that is good for views, seeing nature, and being close to Park City, we have a good choice. Check out the Bloods Lake and Lackawaxen Trail, which is just a 2.8-mile round-trip trail that soars 465 feet into the air. This out-and-back trial, or loop, is good for bringing picnic food, walking with your kids, or going swimming in Bloods Lake. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, then keep going past Bloods Lake and check out Lake Lackawaxen. You can bring your dogs to go for a swim here and enjoy the ice-cold water! Not to mention, you can reach both lakes by starting at Bloods Lake Trailhead, which is easy to get to by car or the free Transit to Trails shuttle service.
If you want a slightly more challenging hike that is good for a moderate trip, then the Silver Lake to Bald Mountain jaunt is ideal. This 4.7-mile out-and-back trail goes more than 1,400 feet above the ground, which lets you take in some of the best views in the entire area. You can also get here by taking free public transit from Silver Lake Village! Start at the bottom of the Silver Lake chairlift, and you will know that you have reached the top of Bald Mountain when you see the Heber Valley far below you!
Lastly, the Lofty Lakes Loop is a 4.4-mile trail that goes more than 960 feet in the air! We recommend doing this as an early morning hiking or running trail with your pup. This trail is super close to Park City and offers incredible views of the nearby Uintas mountains. You can get to the Pass Lake Trailhead just off Mirror Lake Highway, providing you with easy access for your Park City Labor Day weekend hike.
Brewery Hopping!
Finally, you can visit numerous breweries and bars in the Park City area. You are on vacation, after all! Celebrate the time spent with your friends or family by going to one of the local breweries to have a fresh pint of IPA or one of the nearby bars to play darts, chat with locals, and enjoy happy hour drink specials.
