Even if you only have a weekend to spare, this vacation destination is packed with options for customized thrills in every season. The following is your complete itinerary to your next weekend escape to Park City, when you can’t wait to make the most of every moment ahead.
What to Know Before You Go
Those who are traveling to Park City for a weekend of fun will want to make sure to plan ahead so they can maximize their experience. If you’re flying in, it’s good to note that the most frequently used airport here is the Salt Lake City International Airport. This landing destination is just 35 minutes from Park City, and there are plenty of rental car options on-site as well as shuttles to use if you want to leave the driving to someone else.
Above all, you’re going to want to consider your packing list and make sure it matches your travel season. Park City is located in the Wasatch Mountains, so winters are inevitably cold and snowy. They’re also ideal for skiing and snowboarding, so if you have gear ready to go for the slopes, be sure to pack accordingly. In the summertime, you’re going to want to have plenty of sunscreen on hand as well as layers if you plan on hiking or biking to higher elevations in the mountains. No matter what season you arrive, having a camera is a must because Park City never fails to provide some truly impressive views you’ll want to capture on film.
Arrive Early on Saturday Morning
If possible, make it a point to land or drive into Park City as early as possible on Saturday morning. This will give you a chance to enjoy the sun rising over the mountains before you head over to Five5eeds for breakfast. Located at 1600 Snow Creek Drive, this popular eatery opens at 7:30 am daily and serves up mouthwatering options like avocado toast, berry-topped waffles, banana bread, and acai bowls as well.
Explore the Great Outdoors
Once you’re fueled up for a day of fun ahead, it’s time to focus your adventurous sights on the great outdoors. After breakfast, it’s time to make your way to Park City Mountain Resort, where you can enjoy skiing in the wintertime or hiking the mountain trails in the summer. If you prefer to explore on two wheels, this afternoon is ideal for renting a bike and discovering the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail for yourself.
After all those thrills, you can easily curb a lunchtime craving in the summertime at Royal Street Café, or at The Farm at Canyons Village in the winter. No matter which you select, you can count on enjoying access to one-of-a-kind selections of comfort food and gorgeous mountain views to match.
