WHAT TO VISIT IN PARK CITY
Park City is ideal for a romantic weekend getaway and snow sports, fishing, horseback riding and other outdoor sports.
Besides winter sports, Park City offers a reasonable nightlife, restaurants, biking, horseback riding, fishing, boating, cinema (the Sundance Film Festival, held during 15-30 January) and also golf.
BEST TIME TO VISIT PARK CITY
Park City is particular popular in the wintertime and in the ski season (mid-November to April).
For those who love golf, horseback riding, hiking, mountain tours, fishing and boating, Park City is an option even out of the ski season, in places such as Wasatch Mountain State Park.
WHEN NOT TO GO TO PARK CITY
It all depends on your interests and options: to avoid crowds and expensive hotel rates, do not go to Park City in the ski season weekends.
Park City loses much of its spirit when not in the ski season, but there are a wide range of opportunities involving golf, mountain sports, fishing, boating or horseback riding...
