Summertime Fun At A Utah Lodge

Summertime Fun At A Utah Lodge

By:


If youre ready to plan your summer vacation, then take a look at Park City, Utah. Known around the world as a first-class skiing destination, home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and the yearly site of the Sundance Film Festival, this city has something to offer everyone. Summertime is just as exciting as winter in this old mining town, but it houses activities that anyone can enjoy.

Park City developed as a result of gold, silver, and lead mining in the 1860s. While mining continued to be a source of income for the residents of Park City until the 1950s, eventually there became a need for another means to keep the town alive. The mines had fallen on hard times and a suggestion was made to the city leaders to embrace the growing popularity of skiing and resorts. As a result, Treasure Mountain opened in 1963. It didnt take long for Park City to earn its place on the map as a top-notch ski destination.

Last year, the city saw over 600,000 tourists visit and a large percentage of those visitors came during the summer months. There are many activities for summer fun, including hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, fly-fishing for trout, and hot springs. Reservoirs and lakes keep the water activities in full stride during the summer months, but there is also a lot to do for those that are less inclined to become one with nature.

Shopping is one of the favored pastimes here. With more factory outlet stores found here than in another city in Utah, there is never a lack of fantastic places to spend your money! In addition, youll find several smaller boutiques that will delight the most discriminate shopper. After youve had your fill of shopping, enjoy one of the hundred-plus restaurants. At the Stillwater hotels, youll also find some wonderful fine dining restaurants or have dinner sent to your Utah lodge room.

This beautiful city is ready for singles, couples, and families and was voted as one of Americas prettiest cities by Forbes Traveler Magazine in 2008. You will have no doubt as to why when you arrive here. It might be an old mining town, but the feeling here is by no means outdated. This is a fresh, vibrant city with something to offer all its visitors. Its also located just thirty minutes from Salt Lake City, so you can easily spend some time there, as well.

In closing, if youve experienced Park City in the winter, then you know what a fabulous area this is. However, you really must come see what youre missing in the summer months, too. Its the perfect destination for those who want to see and be seen, but also for those who want a little privacy. Book your reservations now at one of the Stillwater hotels and enjoy a Utah lodge room in one of the United States greatest cities.
