Wow, a Saturday morning drive on the Guardsman Pass between Park city and Salt Lake City is definitely an adventure. The beauty is incredible. The curves, cliffs and bikers make it very challenging but fun. Lots of pull offs,hikers and bikers.
2. Park City Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 550 reviews
Discover Park City's history at the Park City Museum on Historic Main Street. Prospectors discovered silver in 1868 in the area that soon after became Park City. Mine owners made fortunes, while thousands of miners simply made a living. After silver prices declined, Park City reinvented itself as a ski resort town. Interactive displays tell the Park City story in an engaging manner. Fun for the whole family! Open 7 days a week (Mon-Sat 10-7, Sun 12-6).

Deer Valley is just the best place to ski in the entire world. The best staff, tissue boxes at every lift line, fast moving lift lines, tons of variety in slopes (many greens, blues, and blacks), perfectly groomed slopes, nice ski school program, and amazing food. Everything at Deer Valley is perfect! This is why I keep coming back year after year, due to the fact that it is flawless and the best mountain in the entire world. I love coming here!

Took day lessons here with my wife. She took the first-time skier lessons and I took intermediate lessons. Both lessons were from 9:30-3:30 and we rented all our equipment. Pick up was quick and easy. The instructors were very good, I learned a lot, starting on green runs and working our way up to blue runs by the late morning, early afternoon. We had a break for lunch and got to see each other, but it was good having separate time to learn at our own pace. Overall a sensational day of skiing and I cannot wait to return!
6. Alpine Coaster
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 585 reviews
Thrill seekers, meet your match on Utah's largest Alpine Coaster. The elevated track winds you through more than a mile of loops, curves and hair-pin curves at speeds up to 30 mph. Just like your favorite roller coaster - but with the refreshing mountain scenery of Park City.
Reviewed By TeamTangerines
Definitely do not brake while you're on the mountain coaster. You have the opportunity to hang out and enjoy yourself on the way up, but be prepared for a thrill ride down the mountain! There's also an alpine slide next to the mountain coaster that you use a lift to get to the top. Definitely choose the fast route and prepare for fun on the way down (and feel free to use your brake here if you feel like you're going too fast)!

I rode Chico through the Park City mountains on a beautiful day. The almost 2 hour ride was serene and offered incredible views. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Their hospitality went above and beyond. Loved Chico, he was fabulous (and a bit mischievous at times lol)! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, highly recommend!

We took our family vacation to PC in July, and our kids are still talking about it. If you think it's great for skiing, you really need to go in the summer. There are never ending options and activities, for all age groups. The weather is so great here in summer- no AC needed. We went horseback riding (the family favorite by far), rented mountain bikes, did Movie on the Mountain, explored the restaurants, and went salmon fishing. Highly recommend summers in PC!!!!

Historic Park City is the gem among riches. Nestled in the valley flanked by Park City Mountain Resort on one side, and Deer Valley on the other, it is the heart and soul of our mountain town and the epicenter of all that is fun and wild. Historic Park City’s has a rich and storied past: it began as a raucous silver town, nearly faded into history as a ghost town, and then re-invented itself as a ski town that grew into a world-class destination and host to global events such as the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Sundance Film Festival. At the center of Historic Park City is Main Street--home to over 200 unique businesses.

If you're in Park City and love shopping, the Tanger Outlets are a MUST do location for you to visit. A short 15 minute ($15-25) cab ride from the Main Street area of Park City and you're in bargain shopping heaven. There's a great mix of stores, clothing, handbags, jewellery, shoes, perfume... you name it. There's a cafe if you're hungry or need a coffee and plenty of room to move. If it's a rainy/snowy day you have the benefit of walking around under an open roofline all the way around the outlets - it's not a traditional mall that's all indoors, moving from store to store takes you outside into the open air but undercover - it's all very manageable if you plan for it. I picked up a bunch of outdoor clothing and shoes at great prices then hopped over to the Coach store for three lovely handbags for my wife and mother in law... GREAT PRICES available there if you know your Coach bags and want some quality leather gifts for your ladies! Also, there are some excellent sales at different times of the year - we arrived between Christmas and New Year and found up to 70% off across a bunch of stores - excellent value! I'll be back again next trip! Hope you enjoyed the review, please give me a helpful vote if you did :)
