Travel to Park City: Park City, Utah, is one of the best ski resort towns in the U.S. There is more to PC than just being a skiing town. However, this is one of the best places in the world for skiing and snowboarding. It is in good company comparing favorably to places like Quebec City, and Colorado's Aspen and Telluride. The city has thoroughly and effectively transformed into a multifaceted resort town worthy of vacationing in during any of the four seasons.
Park City also is one of the country's wealthiest cities. It is the annual host to the Sundance Film Festival. PC shares top billing for resort towns in Utah with Moab.
Best Hotels in Park City

The recently added Silver Star Triple Chair provides even more access to the majestic mountains. The Canyons is set on 3,700 acres of Mother Nature's finest work. There are eight peaks, 17 lifts, and 155 trails to explore. This is an ideal place to have a very unique social or business event. Ski magazine rated the Deer Valley Resort the Top Ski Resort in North America for the third time.

Keep in mind that there are other luxury hotels in the city where visitors can and absorb the vibes of PC. The Hotel Park City and the Silver Queen Hotel are good picks too.
Best Restaurants in Park City Shabu defines its menu as "freestyle Asian cuisine." The "freestyle" stem from patrons participating in the preparation of their meals as the dish is being prepared at their table. In its brief history on Main Street, the lively eatery has become a mainstay of the community. Locals love the healthy entrees of 350 Main. Chef Michael LeClerc received the Platinum Carrot Award for healthy gourmet cuisine by the Aspen Center for Integral Health. After dinner check out the neighboring Spur Bar & Grill, which provides live entertainment and signature libations. The all-American menu presented at the Prime Steakhouse & Piano Bar specializes in prime steak and swimmingly delicious seafood dishes. Most of the wines are rated 90 points or higher by such acclaimed sources as Wine Enthusiasts Wine Spectator, and the highly acclaimed Robert Parker.
To Do in Park City
Main Street is where PC's cultural, dining, and entertainment venues are found. The majority of the street's buildings have been restored to circa 1884. The Main Street Business Alliance works year round to preserve the history of this charming town. Take a tour of Winter Sports Park and see Olympic-level athletes in training. There also are some relatively extreme activities for the do-it-yourself adrenaline seekers. Go on an 80-mph bobsled ride with an experienced driver and experience the thrill of the feat; or experience a very lifelike simulation of freestyle ski jumping off a "plastic" slope in to a swimming pool.
Wouldn't you like to fly in a beautiful balloon? If so, Park City Balloon Adventures can take you up, up and away! One-hour flights are available at around $200 per person. Shuttles are available to departure sites from most of the major resorts and hotels. Catch a show at the Eccles Center.

Keeping it all in the family, the 18th hole was redone by William Neff Jr.
Plan a trip in mid-January and check out the annual Sundance Film Festival. The festival has numerous outlets where "pedestrians" can plug themselves into the enigmatic culture of the film industry.
