What to do and see in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range: The Best Museums

August 7, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the state’s population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peak’s granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

Fatali Gallery

THE LIGHT HUNTER ~ Seeking Nature’s Perfect Moments Fatali, often referred to as the light hunter, has been chasing the light for thirty-years from still to cinema. He is recognized as a world’s top landscape photographer and a master of light. All of his images are captured using custom large format film cameras and a one of a kind optical darkroom to masterfully create each one of his prints; No Digital or Photoshop in the capture. Simply, God’s light! A visionary and explorer who will scout locations to study the light in detail, with the patience to often wait for days, or even weeks for the perfect moment. It is not uncommon in his discipline to stalk a location for two weeks, for only a few seconds of exposures. This is a gift and his way of gifting it back to us all. He is one of the very first to photographically share the now famous slot canyons and other hidden mysterious landscapes within the southwest. Fatali’s undeniable breathtaking images have inspired many photographers to improve their own visions and for some to imitate them. Fatali is an innovator who strives for no limits in his creative expression. He gives credit to the Creator, as the author, and he serving as a visual narrator of God's marvelous creations. The Fatali Family proudly displays their image collection in Park City, Utah and has a huge growing number of patrons worldwide that collect his images. These works of art increase in value and the appreciation for a handcrafted image in a digital world driven by instant gratification. Fatali still spends a great amount of his time out in the field, doing what he loves, hunting for light and to carry on his mission of bringing the spirit of nature back into focus. The Fatali Family and their film crew take small groups of their patrons each year to join them on light seeking journeys to discover our natural world wonders. Whether you are able to personally join them on one of their light hunting safaris or simply tour their gallery in Park City, Utah, as it is the hope that you will feel the spirit within the images.

David Beavis Fine Art

David Beavis Fine Art showcases International Award Winning Artist David Beavis's view of the natural world. David is a 75-time award winning artist who chased his lifelong dream to become a landscape photographer. David, his wife Anthea, and their four children moved from Perth, Australia to Park City, Utah to make his dream a reality. Starting in 2015, the gallery is a highly sought after attraction due to the unique subjects that David captures and the quality of the prints. At David Beavis Fine Art, we work together to find the perfect shot for your space. David is continually embracing the latest technology. Currently, he prefers the Danish Phase One Camera for the majority of his work. This camera compliments David's modern yet classic style; accenting David's unique, crisp imagery and 3-D like look. Starting with the simple but bold subjects to the textured canvas prints, David continues to change the face of fine art photography.

We were fortunate to spend some time with David in his gallery this week. Whether you are a nature lover or simply appreciate beautiful things, David is a true artist in his ability to capture the absolute perfect moment in time. I was captivated by the rich colors and textures in each of his worldly photographs leaving me wanting to touch them all. It was lovely to see some of his photographs displayed in the lobby of our hotel upon our arrival. Definitely need to put this one on your list when visiting Park City ❤️

Park City Museum

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).

Today was our first ever visit to this museum and we were absolutely thankful we found it!! The displays of military planes were wonderful and informative. The volunteers were great with some wonderful historical knowledge of facts about the military planes in the museum. The gift shop had a wonderful variety of items to purchase from toy planes to clothing. Highly recommend this place for families and aviation fans, especially when you’re able to enjoy everything at no cost!!!
