The Electric Bus
Known affectionately as “The Electric Express,” Utah’s first all-electric bus fleet provides the perfect mode of transportation for you to explore “America’s Favorite Mountain Town.” Best of all, the highly efficient electric buses (often referred to as the “Cadillac of buses”) are free for visitors and locals alike! The Electric Express route extends along State Route 224 just down the road from our Park City Utah hotel, between Park City Old Town Transit and Kimball Junction, with several stops, including Historic Main Street, Canyons Village at Park City and Utah Olympic Park.
Hiking Trails
Did you know that Park City was recently voted “Best Town Ever” by Outside magazine for its myriad of easily accessible outdoor activities? Although world-class skiing takes top billing of course, summer visitors can also partake in a variety of outstanding recreational pursuits such as hiking through scenic mountain vistas. No matter if you are a tenderfoot or a trailblazer, you can choose from more than 400 miles of hiking trails – ranging from the easy four-mile McLeod Creek Trail to the much more rugged Fantasy Ridge Trail, which gains a whopping 1,890 feet of elevation over its six-mile length.
Kimball Art Center
Whether you’re simply an arts enthusiast or a budding Picasso, you’ll want to pay a visit to the acclaimed Kimball Art Center, which has been described as a “cornerstone of culture” for Park City since its humble beginnings out of “an old garage” in 1976. Take a free stroll through this world-class community art center and admire the works of local, regional and nationally renowned artists. Or join the crowd of 50,000 attendees at the annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival each August.
Take the Trolley
Hop aboard the whimsical Park City Trolley and travel in style up and down Historic Main Street! The bright iconic bright red trolley will stop just about anywhere to pick you up or drop you off – just give a wave to the driver and be on your way! Historic Main Street is loaded with amazing things to do – ranging from art galleries and bookstores to museums, world-class dining and nightlife – and the charming Park City Trolley makes it all the more fun! The free Park City Trolley service operates daily from 10 AM until 11 PM.
Distillery Tours
Believe it or not, when High West Distillery first opened its doors in 2006 it became the first legal whiskey distillery in Utah since 1870. What started out as a 250-gallon still and saloon created out of a historic livery stable and garage has evolved into an internationally recognized brand that was named “Distiller of the Year” by Whisky Advocate magazine. Free tours are available of both the historic Saloon (which claims to be the “world’s first ski-in gastro-pub”) in Historic Main Street and High West’s new state-of-the-art distillery nestled in the scenic Wasatch Mountains. Sorry kids – tours are for 21 years and older only and there is a charge for the optional (but necessary!) whiskey flight.
Park City Film Series
Tired of wasting good money on slick Hollywood movie fare? Make plans to attend the Park City Film Series, an art house cinema dedicated to screening interesting and provocative films such as Peter Jackson’s critically acclaimed World War I documentary They Shall Not Grow Old. Not to be confused with that slightly more well-known Robert Redford-founded festival down the street called Sundance, the Park City Film Series is a local treasure that takes place in 400-seat Jim Santy Auditorium and is the home of the “amazing bottomless popcorn bowls.”
