It’s that time of year when the slopes and trails begin to soften and we await the start of another season, watching our mountains transform from bustling ski slopes to eager trail heads. But for those visiting between Mid-April and June, it can be especially unique, a time of true metamorphosis that brings with it the possibility of experiences not often enjoyed by peak-season travelers. 

A little hay, a few carrots, and a snow-covered trail is not unlike your typical day in Park City, but today, instead of walking, biking, or skiing through exposed twigs on a groomed trail while pulling snacks from your pack, Rocky Mountain Outfitters is providing a little horsepower to get the job done. 

LGBTQ-friendly travel might sound like a redundant term, but for those within the community who do their research, feeling safe and welcomed while adventuring in a new city is as much a part of the vetting process as securing a direct flight. 

In a town where a High School can be a library, a barn can be a gym, and an auto shop can be a restaurant, it only makes sense that a boutique bed and breakfast would have at one time been a functioning schoolhouse. And like the town itself, which has played host to everyone from miners to Olympians, Washington School House Hotel has survived 132 years through adaptation and reinvention. 

You’re in from out of town and don’t have a lot of time. You’ve wandered Main Street, maybe done a day of skiing at the resort, or gotten lost on a hike. Time is ticking and you still want to make the most of the next two days you have in town. It’s summer and you’d love to try rock climbing outside of a gym. It’s winter and you’ve never gone Nordic skiing. Or maybe it’s the off-season and, aside from riding your beach cruiser on sand (definitely been there), you have no idea how to mountain bike. 

There’s no replacing the joy of first witnessing your child ski down a snow-covered mountain dressed in the most adorable winter gear you could find (or afford, hello expensive sport) as you trail close behind yelling out names of fast food “Pizza!” “French Fries!”
