When you’re looking forward to a 7-day Park City getaway, there’s always a lot to be excited about. Whether you’re someone with a heart for outdoor adventure or you can’t wait to check out museums, restaurants, and shops in abundance, the following guide will be a great starting point to maximizing the fun of every moment you’re here!
Day 1 – Explore Main Street
There’s no better place in town to get a real feeling for the overall vibe of Park City than historic Main Street. This makes it the perfect place to spend the first day of your seven-day Park City vacation the next time you’re in town. This historic area perfectly pairs Park City’s rich mining past with its modern marvels and whether you’re exploring the architecture, popping in and out of boutique shops, or enjoying local cafes, you’ll find something to delight. It’s also where you’ll find Park City Museum, which is filled with fascinating exhibits as well as an opportunity to walk through Park City’s first jail!
Day 2 – Head Over to Utah Olympic Park
No matter when you head to Park City in the name of vacation fun, you’re going to want to add quality time at Utah Olympic Park to your list. This iconic and vibrant destination in town sits at 3419 Olympic Parkway and was once a place where Olympic events were hosted back in 2002. Today, visitors still have opportunities to see athletes training at the park as well as options to try bobsleds for themselves. Whether you’re peeking out and over the park from the top of the Nordic jump summit, or trying the on-site ropes course, there’s something for everyone in your traveling crew to enjoy.
Day 3 – Cast a Line
If you’re an angling enthusiast or excited to try for the first time, you’ll find a Park City getaway is the picture-perfect time to cast a line. There are blue-ribbon fly fishing waterways just about everywhere you look and booking your place on a chartered outing makes it all that much more convenient as the gear you need is already included in the cost of your excursion. Many outings take guests out to the Weber River, Uinta Mountains, or the Lower Provo River to see what’s biting. Along the way, there’s a good chance you’ll catch whitefish, Bonneville cutthroat, or rainbow trout too. Consider options like Utah Pro Fly Fishing or Park City Fly Fishing Guides when you’re ready to book your place.
Day 4 – Enjoy a Day Inspired by Art at the Kimball Art Center
If you find yourself on a Park City vacation on a rainy day, or you’re just looking to balance out your outdoor adventure with indoor fun, the Kimball Art Center is the place to be. Here, visitors can take time to browse a variety of beautiful works of art crafted by local and national artists or enjoy an afternoon of taking an art class for themselves. The calendar of classes varies throughout the year with options like painting, ceramics, and sculpture on the list so be sure to check before you arrive!
Day 5 – Take a Whiskey Tour and Treat Your Tastebuds
Park City’s brew scene is certainly robust, but if you’re looking to learn more about how your favorite beverages are made while on your Park City getaway, booking your place on a behind-the-scenes tour at High West Distillery might just end up being the highlight of your visit. This company hosts their distillery in nearby Wanship, and a tour offers up a unique chance to talk to the team that creates the bold flavors while seeing the equipment used too. Not to worry as there are plenty of samples offered along the way, and options to book a tasting session to follow.
Day 6 – Lace Up Your Boots and Hit the Trails
Park City is an undeniably scenic vacation destination on the map, and for those who love to get out and explore, it’s a top place to add hiking to your to-do list. When the weather is right, lacing up your boots and hitting the trails is a delight for hikers of all skill levels. If you’re in town looking for a challenge and a view, be sure to enjoy time on the Mid-Mountain Trail which puts a firm frame on local aspen and pine groves as well as wildflowers in the spring and summer. The trail winds its way up 8,000 feet in elevation, ensuring guests will be able to put their trekking skills to work.
Day 7 – Take a Scenic Drive
End your 7-day Park City vacation with an unforgettably beautiful drive along Guardsman Pass. This scenic byway spans 14 miles of terrain and takes adventurers into the heart of the Wasatch Mountain Range. It’s an ideal route for wildlife watching and is particularly appealing if you travel here in the fall and want to admire the changing colors of the season from a comfortable place in your vehicle.
