This local favorite is located at the base of the town lift and provides amazing views of Main Street and the Park City Mountain. The eatery uses simple and fresh ingredients to prepare classic favorites with a Brazilian twist. While everything on the menu is delicious, we recommend the Brazilian-style omelet or the Eggs Benedict.

After a whirlwind tour of Main Street, it’s time to pop into the Big Dipper, where sandwiches like the “Saigon in Sixty Seconds” and “Baby, We Were Born to Rhône”, are as delicious as they are cleverly named. Locally owned and operated, you can taste the care and love that goes into each flavorful hoagie.

2:30 PM – BRISK BABY
As you’re leaving Old Town, stop into Cole Sport on Park Avenue. Established in 1982, the family owned business is a Park City landmark. Peruse three levels of mountain accessories, gear and apparel. Ask an experienced associate to recommend a summer fleece for the crisp mountain evenings.

Wake to Park City’s bluebird skies and treat yourself to a decadent breakfast in bed from Bandannas Grill. This on-site restaurant offers a variety of hot and savory options.
Now that you’re refueled, it’s time for your next adventure: horseback riding at Wind In Your Hair Horseback Riding. The stables are located in Wanship at the nostalgic Cherry Canyon Ranch (about 20 minutes from Park City). From the moment you arrive, you can feel the exhilaration in the air. You’ll take to the trails on Paso Finos, the smoothest, most comfortable horses in the world where you’ll spend the morning meandering through beautiful aspen groves, wildflower meadows and scenic mountain-top ridges.

12:30 PM – LUNCH WITH A SPIN
On your way back to Park City, stop into Heber Valley’s famous Spin Cafe, where owners Vincent and Joline have made preparing tasty and unique, from-scratch dishes their life’s work. Pick from one of their delicious menu items like cedar-grilled salmon with freshly squeezed orange lime sauce or the house-smoked BBQ rubbed in fresh-ground spices. Whatever you order, make sure you don’t leave without trying their homemade, small batch gelato.

2:00 PM – NO BAD VIEWS
No summer trip to Park City is complete without a chairlift ride at Deer Valley Resort. From the base of the resort, board the Sterling Express Lift at mid-mountain to access Bald Mountain where you can explore one of many hiking trails. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can learn about Deer Valley’s rich silver mining history via a guided historical tour that takes you through miles of less traveled, albeit strenuous, terrain. Or simply take in the stunning panoramic views at the top and take advantage of the amazing photo opportunity before reboarding the chairlift for the ride back down.

6:00 PM – GIRL’S BEST FRIEND
Following your breathtaking afternoon make your way to the Montage Deer Valley and delight in the world renowned jewelry of Roberto Coin.
