Park City’s Top 5 Warm Weather Adventures

Park City, Utah may be best known for its world-class skiing, but when the snow melts, this mountain town transforms into a warm-weather paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. From scenic hikes to adrenaline-pumping mountain biking, summer in Park City offers unforgettable experiences for every kind of traveler.

Whether you crave adventure or prefer a more leisurely way to enjoy the great outdoors, here are five warm-weather activities to explore in this stunning alpine destination.

1: Hike to Panoramic Views

Park City boasts over 350 miles of recreational hiking trails, ranging from easy nature walks to challenging, day-long treks. The scenic Armstrong Trail is a local favorite, offering a moderate, four-mile out-and-back journey through shaded aspen groves and wildflower meadows.

For breathtaking panoramic views, experienced hikers may enjoy the more challenging 18-mile Wasatch Crest Trail, where you’ll be rewarded with national forest views and sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains. Even if you opt to hike part of the way in and back out, the stunning landscape is worth it.

2: Experience World-Class Mountain Biking

Home to some of the best mountain biking in the country, Park City has more than 400 miles of trails suited for all skill levels. The Mid Mountain Trail, a 26-mile singletrack (that sits about 8,000 miles above sea level), offers a thrilling mix of winding forest paths and open ridgeline views.

Beginners will love the smooth, flowy terrain of the Round Valley Trail System, with its 50+ miles of beginner and intermediate singletrack, while seasoned riders can test their skills on the exhilarating technical descents at Deer Valley Resort’s Bike Park.

3: Soar Above the Mountains on a Hot Air Balloon Ride

For a truly magical view of Park City’s stunning landscape, take to the skies in a hot air balloon. As the sun rises over the Wasatch Mountains, you’ll float effortlessly above rolling hills, shimmering lakes, and lush green valleys. This peaceful yet exhilarating experience is one of the most incredible ways to start the day and an unforgettable way to see Park City in all its spring or summer glory.

4: Tee Off at a Scenic Mountain Golf Course

With relatively cool summer temperatures and pristine courses set against mountain backdrops, Park City is a golfer’s dream. The Park City Golf Club, located in the heart of town, offers an enjoyable yet challenging 18-hole course, as well as a driving range, lessons, and pro shop. For a more exclusive experience, head to Canyons Golf, where rolling fairways wind through dramatic elevation changes.

5: Go Paddleboarding, Kayaking, or Fly Fishing

Just a short drive from Park City, Jordanelle State Park is a haven for water lovers. Located above the Heber Valley, the park offers three distinct recreation areas: Hailstone, Rock Cliff, and Ross Creek. Rent a kayak, paddleboard, or jet ski at the Jordanelle Marina and spend the day out on the cool, clear water of the park’s 3,000-acre reservoir.

If you prefer a more tranquil experience, the Blue Ribbon Provo River is one of the best spots in Utah for a day of fly fishing, with abundant trout, a peaceful, scenic setting, and exquisite views of Mount Timpanogos and the Wasatch Mountain range.
