For the opportunity to play in the great outdoors without having to rough it. Park City’s prime location in the

Wasatch Range puts it in close proximity to some 9,000 combined acres (3,642 hectares) of skiable terrain at Canyons,

Deer Valley, and Park City Mountain resorts, and more than 400 miles (644 kilometers) of hiking and biking trails. And

while the town itself is a quaint, old-timey place, it’s certainly no rustic backwater. Good food and art are community sta-

ples. Plus, downtown Salt Lake City is only about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away.

14 – 26

With the snow beginning to melt, turn your atten-

tion to local waterways to satisfy outdoor cravings.

Tie a few flies (or, better yet, purchase a supply),

arrange for an outfitter at Utah Pro Fly Fishing, and

then wade into the Provo or Weber rivers to cast

for rainbow and

blue-ribbon brown trout

. Hot-

air balloon rides are popular, too, or focus your

attention on Park City’s Main Street, a historic dis-

trict lined with boutique (and fun kitschy) shops,

fascinating art galleries, and enough restaurants

to handle any and all gastronomic hankerings. Be

sure to stop in at the Park City Museum for a taste

of the area’s history.

1 – 13

This is prime time for skiing and snowboarding,

and Park City provides convenient access to

Utah’s best snow-riding playgrounds

. Take

the Town Lift from Main Street to the varied terrain

of Park City Mountain. At the end of the day, cruise

Quit ’N Time all the way back to the heart of the

local après activities. Nearby Canyons — with

182 runs, almost 3,200 vertical feet (975 vertical

meters), and three terrain parks — is the state’s

biggest resort, and also offers guided snowshoe

treks and evening sleigh rides for anybody who

needs a break from the exhilarating expert territory

beneath the Ninety-Nine 90 Express lift.

40 – 52

The weather can be rather unpredictable during

the weeks leading up to ski season, but there’s

still time to get in a great hike or mountain bike

ride. Head just a bit south to Wasatch Mountain

State Park’s Dutch Hollow district for shorter paths

such as Cottontail Loop and The Boneyard. When

the snow does begin to fall, plan to take cover at

the

Egyptian Theatre

, home to a diverse collec-

tion of off-beat productions as well as mainstream

Broadway-style musicals. Or, put on a warm jacket

and embrace snow-centric activities, such as dog

sledding, snowmobiling, and, of course, skiing and

snowboarding.

27 – 39

If the blue skies and bright sunshine don’t coax

you outdoors, the open-air festivals and other sea-

sonal events surely will. Don’t miss the weekly

Park Silly Sunday Market

. It’s downtown, and

with live entertainment, fresh fruits and vegetables

for sale, booth after booth of handicraft dealers,

and myriad food vendors, the atmosphere is as

jovial as the name suggests. Concerts also are

prevalent this time of year, and range from free

performances at area parks to the symphonic and

classical productions of the Deer Valley Music

Festival to the household-name acts that fill out

the St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights series.
