WELCOME TO PARK CITY Your Hidden Gem for Summer Fun

Join us as we explore why Park City’s summer season is our favorite time of year, filled with endless opportunities for relaxation, adventure, and creating unforgettable memories.

Just Outside Your Door Hiking & Mountain Biking

Lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore the vast network of trails right outside your home. You have unparalleled access to some of the best hiking and mountain biking in Park City during the warm summer months.

Holly’s Trailhead

Mid Mountain (Red Pine Lodge)

Wasatch Crest

Alpine Lake Trail

Easy | 0.5 Miles

Experience the serene beauty of the small lake below the Orange Bubble by following the Alpine Lake Trail from Red Pine Lodge. This family-friendly trail offers a short, gentle ascent, ideal for young children or anyone seeking stunning views with minimal exertion.

Mid-Mountain Down

Easy/Intermediate | 3.85 Miles

For a light workout with less vertical ascent, ride the Red Pine Gondola up to Red Pine Lodge and descend via the Mid-Mountain Trail. Connect to Holly’s Trail or Ricochet for shaded paths on warm days, panoramic valley and mountain vistas, and the occasional moose encounter.

Holly’s Trail

Intermediate | 9 Miles

Embark on a peaceful hike up Canyons Resort on Holly’s Trail. Traverse through Aspen groves and ski runs, encountering gentle streams in the early season. As you ascend above Sun Peak Lodge, reach Alpine Lake, a snow-making pond near the top of the Orange Bubble lift, where you can fish for Tiger Trout.

Opt to take the Red Pine Gondola back down from the Red Pine Lodge to spare your knees and halve the total mileage.

Wasatch Crest

Expert | 12.5 Miles

For those looking for a very challenging hike or mountain bike ride, try Wasatch Crest. This hike offers almost 1,000 feet of elevation gain across 12.5 miles. The trail, which is an out-and-back trail, takes you from the Canyons, over Nintey-Nine 90, to the Park City side of Park City Mountain Resort. On average, hikers take 8.5 hours to complete the hike, so plan to start your day early and bring plenty of food, water, and sunscreen on this hike.

This trail travels through potential avalanche terrain. Before you go, be sure to check the daily avalanche forecast at UtahAvalancheCenter.org.

Hidden Gems Off the Beaten Path

Yellow Pine Trailhead

Expert | 9.3 Miles

The Yellow Pine Trail, located about 30 minutes from Park City, is a hidden gem well worth the drive. This 9.3-mile outand-back trail boasts 2,624 feet of elevation gain and treats hikers to a scenic journey filled with stunning water features and ample shade, perfect for escaping the summer heat in Park City. Despite its charms, this trail remains relatively undiscovered, ensuring a peaceful and uncrowded hiking experience, even on weekends.

Slate Creek Mountain Bike Trail

Intermediate | 5.6 Miles

The Slate Creek Mountain Bike Trail is a 5.65-mile loop in the Uinta Mountains, ideal for mountain biking and hiking (no horses or motorized equipment). The trail winds through old ponderosa pines, white fir, and aspen groves, offering a well-maintained, family-friendly experience with fun downhill sections. This cooperative trail, funded by the South Summit Trails Foundation, is a pioneering effort that sets the stage for future trail projects in the area.
