SUMMER IN PARK CITY

Golfing Biking

Picture for a moment, the sky is blue and cloudless and the sun is bright but not overly hot. Surrounding you are hillsides covered with a thick blanket of pine trees and wild flowers Park City is beautiful during the Summer, the temperature is mild and there are so many things to do here in August.

It's hard to imagine running out of things to do here in the summertime. There's just so much to experience - hiking and hot air balloons, golf courses and tennis courts, fly-fishing and climbing walls. And that's just the beginning. There really is something for everyone.

Utah Olympic Park was a competition venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games for Nordic jumping and the sliding sports of bobsleigh, luge and skeleton. The nearly 400-acre Park features a mixture of sporting facilities and visitor areas for an incredible Olympic experience. The state-of-the-art park hosted more than 300,000 visitors and 14 Olympic medal events in February 2002. The Utah Olympic Park now serves as a year-round competition and training ground for recreational and high-performance athletes. Today, the public can watch athletes in training, visit the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the 2002 Eccles Winter Olympic Museum, race down the track in a bobsled, or learn how to steer your own skeleton or luge sled by taking an Intro camp.

After the snow melts off the mountains, the ski lifts keep busy hoisting hikers and mountain bikers onto our breathtaking trails. Whether you're looking for white-knuckled, mountain bike thrills, or just a peaceful hike through a Rocky Mountain Forest, you'll find your ideal expedition here in Park City. And if you forgot something, don't worry; we've got the gear as well (see Equipment Rentals).
