Every small town has a few shops that everyone knows and loves. In Park City, Java Cow is one of those. Located on Historic Main Street in Old Town Park City, Java Cow is a staple for locals and visitors alike. Best known for their homemade ice cream, locally baked goods, and coffee, Java Cow has a little bit of something for everyone. It’s a must-visit shop if you’re visiting Park City with kids, but it’s also just as great to go there even if you don’t have little ones in tow. 

Here in the Wasatch Back, we have a deep heritage that’s rooted in agriculture, mining, and exploration. While our family is getting a great taste of all the adventures that can be found in the Park City area, this year we’re trying to be a bit more well-rounded and experience what’s right around us on a deeper level. 

If you’re traveling to Park City with teens, prepare to have an absolute blast. There are so many exciting adventures that they’ll love, that you could easily be busy exploring until well after dark every day.

With spring weather just around the corner, right now is the perfect time to start planning the perfect family ski trip to Park City. Spring is one of the best times to plan a family ski trip since the snowpack is high, the weather is a bit warmer and more predictable than it would be earlier in the ski season. Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain are both planning to stay open until April 11th, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the amazing snow. Here are some things that you need to know to plan the perfect family ski trip this spring. 

Our family love of skiing runs deep. My husband and I met on a chairlift and most of our kids started skiing shortly after they could walk. Thankfully, our kids are all as obsessed with downhill skiing as their parents are. However, when I suggested that we try cross country skiing this winter, no one was on board. In my kids minds, cross country skiing was boring, slow, and a waste of time. 

Visiting the Ice Castles has become a family tradition that my kids look forward to every year. Even though we’re not traveling far from home, a visit to the Ice Castles feels like we have been transported to a far off magical world. If you’re visiting Park City in the winter, an evening visit to the Ice Castles is an absolute must-do activity.
