Biking

Obviously, a mountain resort community like Park City would be a natural setting for a mountain biker’s paradise, which the resort area certainly is with over 150 miles of trails in the area. The beautiful vistas of the Wasatch Mountains are perfect for road biking as well, so don’t miss an opportunity to experience both!

Top rated courses, such as the Jack Nicklaus designed Park Meadows Country Club, or some the best public links courses found anywhere; like the Park City Municipal or Mountain Dell. Just visiting? You’ll find beautifully maintained courses, all at 6000 feet elevation, so your ball does indeed fly farther! Staying longer? Join one of the local men’s or women’s leagues and make lots of new golfing friends. Park City’s short golf season is far outweighed by the beauty and grandeur that awaits!
