THE LODGE AT BLUE SKY, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION
The Lodge at Blue Sky is nestled in a pristine mountain setting just a few miles from downtown Park City. Nature lovers are especially drawn to the resort. Jessica Cook, director of sales and marketing, says Blue Sky is perfect for snowshoers and Nordic skiers. “We have a multitude of trails on the property that really cater to all levels of ability. As an enhancement on any snowshoe tour, we have partnered with a local wildlife biologist who does fantastic tours to indentify different animal prints in the snow. We have elk, deer, mountain lions, bobcats and a host of different birds. We even have a resident wintering elk herd,” Cook says.

The Lodge at Blue Sky prides itself in its amazing program providing sanctuary for dozens of rescue horses. Their rescue horse-drawn wagon and sleigh rides to see the elk herd are extremely popular with guests.
