Looking for Park City activities to enjoy over a holiday break?
YES. President’s Week is upon us. Aside from the Sundance Film Festival, this is the busiest week in Park City. Visitors fly in from all over the country to celebrate the holiday in winter style.
It stands to reason that with this busy week our mountains are packed full of skiers and snowboarders. It’s always fun to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle. However, if you want to take a day or two away from the slopes, there are plenty other Park City activities that let you experience our winter paradise :

For our cross-country skiers, we recommend gliding along the trails at the Jeremy Ranch Country Club. The trails are packed and groomed on a regular basis and the local scenery is unmatched. The center offers private and semi-private lessons, along with rental boots and poles. Once you’ve finished your trail, enjoy a relaxing delicious lunch at the Club’s restaurant. thejeremy.com
2 hours north of Park City is Bear Lake. This turquoise waterway is a local’s secret. Grab your pop-up tent, ice reel and winter gear and spend the day Ice Fishing on the lake. Enjoy a cozy dinner at Coopers Restaurant or the Bear Trapper Restaurant and snuggle in for the night at one of the welcoming cabins, like Mimi’s Lodges. After visiting this local treasure, you will want to return year after year. coopersbearlakewest.com, beartrapperrestaurant.com, mimislodges.com
Of course, even if the Park City activity you choose is as simple as relaxing in a hot tub and enjoying the crisp mountain air, our mountain town adventures never disappoint.
