As you drive, enjoy the scenic grandeur of the mountains as you capture some beautiful photos for future memories. After checking in at your hotel or vacation home, stroll through the historic Main Street. You can explore the many shops, galleries, and restaurants that make Park City such a unique destination.
Stop for lunch at High West Saloon on Park Ave. Try the shishito peppers or the High West Burger paired with a whiskey flight. Note that they don’t take lunch reservations, so aim for an 11:00 AM arrival to beat the crowd. When done, head to one of the nearby ski resorts for some skiing or snowboarding. With 7,300 acres of terrain and over 330 trails, Park City Mountain remains the largest ski resort in the U.S.
If you’re visiting in 2026, be sure to check their online parking reservation system before heading to the base. You can also check out Deer Valley Resort, known for its luxurious amenities and impeccable service.

Day Two: Music and Exploring the Great Outdoors
Start your morning by hiking in the nearby mountains, taking in the breathtaking vistas and fresh air. With myriad trails to select from, you’re sure to find something for your level. And as you make your way through the forest, watch for wildlife like deer and elk.
After the hike, drive 20 minutes to Midway for a soak in the Homestead Crater. It’s a 10,000-year-old geothermal spring tucked inside a limestone dome. Reservations are required for 40-minute soak sessions, which cost approximately $18 per person.
Immerse yourself in warm, mineral-rich water while surrounded by the spectacular beauty of the Utah wilderness. Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking are other popular activities in which to partake. Or you can simply relax on the shore and soak up the sun.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand at fly fishing in one of the many streams that wind their way through the mountains. Head back to town for dinner at one of Park City’s restaurants in the evening. From casual cafes to upscale fine dining establishments, there’s something for every taste and budget.
When done, catch a performance at the 2026 Deer Valley Music Festival. The lineup (running July 17 – August 15) features highlights like Idina Menzel, Lyle Lovett, and a tribute to the music of Celine Dion on the final night. Bring a low-back chair and arrive early for the best lawn spot.
