Established as a mining community in the late 1800’s, Park City is still steeped in silver mining tradition.  The flavor of the “silver rush” lingers throughout the city in renovated miner’s shacks made over into ski lodges. Park City moved into the limelight as the host of the many 2002 Winter Olympic venues. Only 36 miles from the Salt Lake International Airport, Park City’s quaint mountain village appeals to visitors from all over the world who come to participate in winter and summer pastimes. Park City is located at 6,900 feet above sea level and rises to an excess of 10,000 feet. Famous for its snow, which tops the charts with well over 350 inches, Park City has three unique, world-class ski resorts within five miles of each other (Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and The Canyons). But as a year-round recreation “hot spot,” the choices in entertainment and attractions, art and cultural events, and athletic and leisurely activities are limitless. You can enjoy the thrill of speeding down the same bobsled run used in the 2002 Winter Olympics when you visit the Utah Olympic Park –home of the Olympic bobsled, luge, freestyle aerial, skeleton & ski jumping competitions. You can also sail through the air at a 33% grade on the Xtreme Zip, world’s steepest zip line, originating 110 feet above ground. With 1,454 hair-raising feet in total length, the k120 zipline reaches a maximum speed of 55 miles per hour with a 435-foot vertical drop. After an action-packed day in the cold you can warm up, relax, and enjoy downtown Park City. Dining and Nightlife Socialite – Park City is host to over 100+ dining establishments which are among the finest in the Intermountain West.  You will find everything from casual family-style eateries to award-winning fine dining bistros and cafés. Everything is within short walking distance.  Park City strives to provide visitors with an assortment of options for a night on the town. If you’re looking for a quiet table at a wine bar, a micro-brewery or pub that serves up “steins” and live music, or a cocktail bar at a lively nightclub, Park City delivers.
