Park City is a famous winter playground for Hollywood stars and Olympic athletes, but its summer season is equally stellar, offering a wealth of opportunities for warm-weather pursuits. Hiking and biking trails are abundant, with nearly 30 miles of trails in the Park City Mountain Resort accessible by chairlift. The Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park hiking and biking path follows the old Union Pacific railroad bed for 30 miles, from Park City to Echo Reservoir. For golfers, there are five fine golf courses to choose from, offering a range of challenges and spectacular views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Anglers take advantage of famously ripe blue-ribbon fisheries on the Weber and Provo Rivers and, further away, on the Green River. Rafting trips on the wilder stretches of the same rivers offer high-octane thrills and great photo opportunities For extreme sports fans and adrenaline junkies, there's horseback riding, hot air ballooning and Park City Mountain Resort's adventure zone -- complete with a human maze, zipline, alpine slide and climbing wall. The bravest visitors to Park City head to the Utah Olympic Park, where a 70-mile-per-hour bobsled ride awaits them.
Park City's famous ski areas have something for everyone, from deep powder bowls and long, groomed runs to gentle beginner slopes, steep chutes, three world-class terrain parks and the 2002 Olympic Superpipe. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2004, Park City Mountain Resort offers world-renowned skiing and riding, breathtaking views, legendary powder, more than 3,300 acres of dream ski terrain, and Utah's most extensive snowboard facilities. At the base, The Legacy Lodge offers the conveniences you'd expect from a state-of-the-art day lodge -- all set in a modern design that celebrates Park City's mining and mountain heritage. The resort's famous Alpine Slide is one of the longest in the world, with two new tracks being added for more curls, swirls, dips and turns.
Located just six miles from downtown Park City, the Utah Olympic Park offers a year-round, state-of-the-art park for national and international competitions. It serves as a year-round training ground for development and high-performance athletes in luge, bobsled, skeleton and aerials. Visitors are treated to a guided tour of the park, athlete training sessions, 70 mile-per-hour bobsled rides in summer and winter, freestyle aerial and ski-jumping shows on summer weekends, and a variety of camps for skiers and snowboarders of all ages. The park's Alf Engen Ski Museum was built to preserve the rich history of skiing in the Intermountain region by providing a world-class facility which highlights the many contributions made in ski-area development, athletic competition, snow safety, ski innovation and ski-teaching methods.
