If you want to experience the big city during your Park City vacation, you will find that Salt Lake City is just a half hour away.

This is Salt Lake City’s spooky inspired half marathon taking place at Sugar House Park.
This all-day event lets you enjoy a half marathon or 5K run to help you earn your drinks and treats found later in the evening. There is also a kids run where they can try their own race while decked out in their favorite costume. The Haunted Half will take place on October 17 starting at 8:00 AM in Salt Lake City.
Book a Ghost Tour
One of the spookiest ways to celebrate Halloween right here in Park City is by booking a ghost tour with Park City Ghost Tours. Their spooky showings take you around Downtown Park City as you learn all about the haunted buildings located off Main Street. Park City has a rich mining history that often resulted in many deaths early on for settlers.
This 75-minute tour is perfect for all ages and is not too spooky for young children. Make sure to walk comfortable shoes as you navigate around Main Street for the entirety of the tour. Each tour departs at 7:00 PM. Note that reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance (and tours require a four person minimum to run).
Go Mountain Biking
While Park City does not offer much in actual Halloween events or activities it more than makes up for it with exciting outdoor activities. The first one you need to experience is mountain biking on the 450 miles of trails that surround Park City. There is a trail for every level, from the mellow loops at Round Valley to the more challenging grades on the Lost Prospector trail.
If you are looking for a guide to take you around let the pros at White Pine Touring help you out. They offer guided mountain bike tours to help match you with the perfect trail. They will also provide you with the gear you need so you can show up without anything in hand. This makes it easier than ever by simply booking a tour and showing up. You will be amazed at how incredible the scenery in Park City looks with all of the fall foliage changing colors right in front of you.
Go Fly Fishing
There is no bad time when you spend it at one of the rivers around Park City. Get out and explore the water by booking yourself a fly fishing journey. Park City’s rivers hold a vast variety of fish that can be reeled up if you know where to look. If not, let a trusted pro such as Park City Fly Fishing Guides with a tour that will help you out.
They offer full and half day fly fishing tours that will take you out to local spots at Provo River or Weber River. There is also a variety of smaller remote streams where fish can often be found swimming about. They will show you the best spots and how to properly use your equipment.
While they provide all the necessary gear, they will also assist you in obtaining the required Utah fishing license before you hit the water. Don’t miss out on this exciting fall activity around Halloween!
Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride
Park City does not look any better than when you see it high up in the air from a hot air balloon.
