Fall FoliageThe hills are alive with new color and boundless nature, and local wildlife is on the move! The over 400 miles of trails in the Park City area become a little less traveled and it’s the perfect time to hit the trail on foot or bike or take a scenic drive, but don’t forget your camera because the brilliant colors won’t last long!

Fly ByFor the thrill seekers itching for more adventure, take in the absolute best views of Park City and the rugged Wasatch Mountain Range as you ascend thousands of feet above the town on a hot air balloon ride courtesy of a handful of local outfitters. Fly through the crisp

mountain air on a wild ride on Park City’s Alpine Coaster, a zipline tour or bobsled track at Utah Olympic Park. Whether you’re an experienced angler or first-timer, you’ve come to the right place! One of the most unique qualities Utah fly fishing has to offer is the opportunity to fish 365-days a year, and Park City has two blue ribbon trout rivers within 15 minutes of Main Street! As the weather becomes cooler, the fish are in a feeding frenzy and the colorful landscape and beautiful trout make this time of year picturesque.
