When you’re excited to spend some quality time away from your daily routine, Park City, Utah offers up a destination that’s scenic, exciting, and endlessly inviting. While Park City is packed with options for fun no matter what season you arrive, there’s something undeniably refreshing about a getaway to Park City in spring. When you’re looking for the activities and seasonal attractions that will boost your itinerary to the next level of excellence, the following are a few of the best places to start.
Savor the End of Ski Season
The arrival of spring doesn’t mean it’s quite the end of ski season in Park City. Here, the slopes are typically open into April giving downhill enthusiasts plenty of time to enjoy the fun without the mid-winter crowds to contend with. With warmer temperatures on your side and sunny skies overhead, there’s no reason not to spend as much time as possible exploring Park City Mountain Resort’s 7,500 skiable acres of terrain and 300 trails. Here, there’s truly something for skiers of every skill level whether you’re a black diamond pro or you’re still looking to find your balance on the bunny hill. There’s plenty of snow to go around this time of year and if you choose to spend your time at Park City Mountain Resort, you can pair ski fun with snowboarding adventures as well.
Hit the Hiking Trails in Good Company
Park City is loved by outdoor adventurers for its maze of incredible hiking trails to check out that showcase the landscapes in prime fashion. While spring often sees the higher elevation trails still sprinkled with snow, lower elevation trails in town are ideal for trekking your way through an outdoor-focused stay. Start with the Round Valley Trail System which is accessible just northwest of Main Street. This trail system features more than 30 miles of trails across 700 acres, and many are pet-friendly too. For those who are traveling this way with little ones in tow, the Quinns Trailhead brings you right to playgrounds and outdoor workout areas for adults. Over at Lost Prospector Trail, you’ll enjoy stunning views out over Park City as you venture along a popular out-and-back route.
Make Time for Sightseeing
If you’re a traveler with a heart for history, you’ll find the stories, architecture, and landmarks across this city truly fascinating. Begin digging into stories of the past downtown which doubles as Park City’s historic hub and hosts a variety of museums and galleries to explore. The Park City Museum is a great place to learn about the city’s mining past and it hosts the original regional jail too. The many buildings and structures along Main Street are a true testament to time restored in the modern era. If you’re looking for more of a paranormal area past, spring is a great time to book a ghost tour or two.
Spend Time on the Water
When it comes to incredible fly fishing destinations on the map, Park City in spring is hard to top. Spring is a particularly appealing time of year here to cast a line in award-winning waters that are rushing with snow melt moving in from the Wasatch Range. There’s no reason you can’t get out and enjoy time on the water on your own, but when you could use some instruction, booking a guided fly fishing experience is the way to go. The Park City Fly Fishing Company is more than happy to help you book a custom outing that’s suitable to your preferences and fit to your skillset. When you book a tour, licensing is also taken care of for you making the experience that much more convenient.
Enjoy Delicious Dining Experiences This Spring
All of the spring activities you have on your itinerary are sure to leave you with an appetite to attend to during your stay. That’s when it’s time to make your way to Handle on Heber Avenue and enjoy a robust menu of options. This is a top destination in town for tasty small plates as well as handcrafted cocktails enjoyed in an elegant space. Dinner is served daily between 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm and the menu hosts mouthwatering selections ranging from mushroom Bolognese and pork shank to lamb T-bones and bavette steak.
