Park City

Silver-boom Main Street and Olympic slopes.

Park City grew rich on silver in the 1800s and found a second life as one of America’s great ski towns, host of 2002 Olympic events. Land at Heber Valley Airport, a quiet field 20 minutes away, stay at the Washington School House or Stein Eriksen Lodge, ski or hike Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, watch freestyle aerialists train at the Utah Olympic Park, and finish at High West’s distillery saloon on Main Street.
