Park City In Summer

Last winter I was riding a chairlift with Heidi Voelker, former U.S. Ski Team three time Olympian and now Deer Valley Ambassador of Skiing. and we were talking about Park City skiing. Like me, Heidi was raised in the northeast, and when I asked her what brought her to make her home in Park City she said, "I came for the winter and skiing, but the summers kept me."

This seems to be the reason a lot of transplant "Parkites" put down their roots and stash their ski boots here year round. So when I had the opportunity to visit Park City in the summer I didn't need anybody to twist my arm except my wife who wanted to come along - Park City is a great family or romantic place to visit.

From hiking and mountain biking at the ski resorts, the Olympic Park, the USSA Center for Excellence, slides and rides, swimming, fishing, and boating at nearby state parks, the Farmer's Market at the Canyons, concerts, and shopping, to the Park Silly Market which takes place every Sunday on downtown on Main Street, with music, entertainment, activities for kids, and an open-air market, there is something for everyone at Park City.
