While Park City, Utah is an amazing skiing and snowboarding destination, it has much more to offer than just the slopes.

You can even plan a relaxing winter weekend getaway with your friends or your partner!

Explore Historic Park City

Stroll down Main Street into the Historic District of Park City. There are tons of shops and restaurants to visit; take a look around the Park City Museum and learn about the town’s unique history. You can hop on a bus from Park City Mountain, or bundle up and walk through the cute neighborhoods to get here.

Heber Valley Train

Located about 25 minutes from Park City Mountain is the Heber Valley railroad. The Deer Creek Express is a 90-minute roundtrip, offering amazing views of the Wasatch Mountains and Deer Creek Reservoir. This is a great way to enjoy the scenery while staying warm if you’re visiting in the winter!

Sleigh Ride Dinner

Take an authentic horse-drawn sleigh ride up the mountain to the Snowed Inn. You’ll get blankets to wrap up in on the sleigh, and the inn will be heated and waiting for you with blazing fireplaces and hot cider. Here, you’ll receive a delicious 3-course meal with live music and pleasant service. I highly recommend this for all ages!

Snowmobiling

Homestead Crater

Swimming? In winter? That’s possible (and enjoyable) at the Homestead Crater. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and even scuba diving at this geothermal pool hidden under limestone. The water stays at a constant 90-96 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes for a nice mid-winter dip.



Snowshoeing

Want to soak in the mountain views and fresh air without skis or a snowboard? Pick up a pair of snowshoes and you can leisurely make your way through the beautiful trails, both groomed and ungroomed. Take a look at White Pine Touring for rentals and trail recommendations, as well as guided tours.
