Though it's famous as a winter wonderland for skiers and snowboarders, Utah's Park City also offers spectacular warm-weather opportunities.

Enjoy mesmerizing mountain views from up to 8,000 feet during scenic gondola rides and 400 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Stay in first-rate accommodations, like the AAA Four Diamond Grand Summit Hotel at the Canyons Resort, at off-season rates.

Cool for kids

Older kids can cruise at 50 mph on the world’s steepest zipline and steer a sled on the Quicksilver alpine slide at Utah Olympic Park. Little ones will love the amusement-park rides in a carnival atmosphere at Park City Mountain Resort.

Hot for moms

Pamper yourself at one of the area’s 15 luxurious spas such as Amatsu at The Sky Lodge. Savor the culinary treats of some 100 restaurants and two dozen bars and clubs. Plus, art, music and food-and-wine festivals abound here.
