Alpine Slide

This thing will send you roaring down the mountain top at speeds of up to 30mph! But, don't worry, it's sort of like a gocart, and you get brakes if you'd like to keep it along the lines of a scenic cruise down the mountain top.

Scenic Lift Rides

Park City Mountain is stocked full of options to explore the beautiful mountainscape. One of the best routes has got to be these lift rides. I recommend hopping on one of these at the end of the day to take advantage of Utah's stellar sunsets.

Mountain Biking

The mountain biking options here are awesome for all experience and skill levels. They've got lifts ready for you, so there is no need to worry about biking up the mountain if you're looking for a relaxing family ride through the abundant selection of trails!

Canyon Golf & Putt-Putt

They've got a full 18-hole, par-70 course up in the mountains that may be one of the most beautiful courses you can attend in the US. Park City Mountain also brings a mind-blowing putt-putt experience.

Gem Panning

Park City brings its rich mining history to life, as you and the whole family can go out and pan for gems you get to keep!

This just scratches the surface of what Park City Mountain has to offer for the family's summer vacation! Yep, they've even got more to do!

Utah Olympic Park
