Park City
Old Town · Park City, Utah
A silver-mining town at 6,936 feet that reinvented itself as a ski resort when the Treasure Mountains lift opened in 1963, and hosted skiing and snowboarding events at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Sixty-four Victorian buildings on Main Street are listed on the National Register, so the historic town is genuinely intact rather than reconstructed. Park City Mountain merged with Canyons in 2015 to create what its owners describe as the largest ski area in the United States, with 300 trails.

The town and Main Street are free and open at all times. ⚠ SUNDANCE HAS LEFT: Park City hosted the festival from 1978 until 2026 and it has relocated to Boulder, Colorado — most published guidance still says otherwise. Ski season runs roughly late November to mid-April at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley, which does not permit snowboarding; lift tickets bought at the window are among the most expensive in North America, while multi-resort passes bought months in advance cost a fraction per day. Summer brings lift-served hiking and mountain biking at a fraction of winter lodging rates. ⚠ THE TOWN SITS AT 6,936 FEET and visitors from sea level commonly feel it on the first night. Old Town parking is paid and limited; free park-and-ride lots with frequent accessible shuttles are the practical answer.
