It may seem as if summer is eons away, but you only have three months until the long and lazy days begin, and now is the perfect time to start planning a summer vacation in Park City. You may think of skis, snow, and cold when you think about our Utah hometown, but we at I Love Park City are here to tell you it is a fantastic summer vacation destination and the adventures you enjoy both in town and in our seasonal sanctuaries will become memories you cherish forever, if you do it right. This guide to getting a head start on your Park City summer vacation planning will ensure that you succeed at your summer vacation experience.
Packing for Adventure
If you’re like us, packing is almost your least favorite part of travel (unpacking being the absolute least favorite part), but with this cheat sheet you won’t waste space, leaving room for your shopping treasures. First things first, it may be summer, but nights will be chilly if not cold, so dressing in layers is the best way, and you must be sure to remember to pack some sweaters as well. Extra socks, comfy hiking boots, and a swimsuit or two for your hot tub adventures in our escapes that offer that amenity are useful as are sunscreen, sunglasses, and sun hats. A nice outfit for a night on the town will totally come in handy as our nightlife can be as exciting as the outdoor adventures you will enjoy during your time in Park City.
Go Outside and Play
There is a lot to do in the summer in Park City, and much of it will be outdoor adventures. The stunning beauty of our mountain town’s landscape will entice you to want to be outside as much as possible. Hike along many of the same trails you might have skied on during a winter visit; the canopy of the trees will keep you cool and the lush and verdant foliage will make you feel happy to be alive. Mountain biking is exciting at Trailside Bike Park, but because our town offers over 400 miles of trails, you may opt to ride on the wild side and explore all there is to see. Flyfishing on the Provo or Weber River, SUP on the Jordanelle Reservoir, or kayaking on the Provo or Weber Rivers are a few more exciting activities you can explore during your summer adventures in Park City.
Sophisticated and Elegant
Park City may have gotten its start as a silver mining town, but today it offers a sophisticated and elegant appeal that draws everyone from celebrity superstars to your next door neighbors and its nightlife reflects that sophistication. The Egyptian Theater, located at 328 Main Street, has been entertaining locals and visitors since the 1920s, and today offers concerts, Broadway shows, and a bunch of events that will help you get to know our town better. Planning an evening that starts with a fine meal at Riverhorse on Main, continues with a live show at the Egyptian, and then head downstairs to Downstairs, a dance club that will have you dancing the night away. Sophisticated and exciting, your arts and culture journey into the night will be one that surprises and delights.
A Tour of Taste
Park City is a foodie’s paradise, and we can promise that all your meals will be your favorite, whether you decide to eat at home in the fully equipped kitchens of our summer sanctuaries or you head to Main Street to explore the delicacies of Park City. We’ve already mentioned Riverhorse on Main, but breakfast at the Eating Establishment, 317 Main Street, lunch at the Bridge Café & Grill, 825 Main Street, and a fine dinner at Pine Cone Ridge, 577 Main Street, will be the sites of the meals that haunt your dreams in all the best ways. Dining in Park City is an adventure in good taste that you will never forget, especially when you decide to explore the sweet treats at Park City Desserts & Coffee, located at 401 Main Street.
