Discover: Park City, UT
Nestled in the heart of Utah’s Wasatch Range, Park City stands as destination central for a variety of recreational enthusiasts. Incorporated in 1884, Park City's roots are deeply invested in the silver mining industry throughout the late 1800s. Over time, the area slowly transitioned out of mining and soon became the polestar for adventure that we know today.
Park City rapidly evolved in the twentieth century into a hub for athletes and adventurers alike for its world class outdoors. In 1985, Park City Ski Area hosted the city's first World Cup ski race which showcased just how special Utah snow really was.
Again, in 2002, the Winter Olympic Games put the international spotlight on this booming mountain town who hosted the bobsled, skeleton, and luge events at the Utah Olympic Park in addition to the ski & snowboard events at Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley.
Even before the hitting the world stage, Park City has been regarded as adventure town USA; winning countless awards and recommendations from around the world. In 2013, Outside Magazine named Park City “Best Town In America” for its excellence in living and play.
The region always has something to offer; even during the 'off-season' (i.e. no snow). Endless wilderness surrounds the city which offers top-notch mountain biking, hiking, and camping. A short drive down scenic Interstate 80 lands you in Salt Lake City, with a host of its own opportunities for exploration.
Although the cost of living is above average; this is an above average place. There's a special spirit that lives in this historic mountain town. A sense of adventure, solitude, and chance for self-discovery.
This is Park City. What will you discover?
