Park City Life 325 miles of expert and family-friendly trails. Mountain bikers have snow-free trails roughly from May through September. Ski lifts operate bikers and bikes up to exciting and scenic paths. The town’s trail system offers single- and double-track trails marked according to skill level. Summer brings to town even more events, including the Park City Arts Festival, a NORBA-sanctioned mountain bike race, the International Music Festival, and an International Jazz Festival. The Utah Symphony makes a summer home in Park City.
