People flock to Park City for the nearly endless adventures in the surrounding mountains. But when you need a break from the slopes — or just want to start your day in a relaxing way — Park City’s yoga studios offer a wonderful way to restore your energy, center your mind, and strengthen your body.  

Visitors flock to Park City for outdoor adventures during all seasons, from skiing in the winter to hiking and biking in the summer. No matter what time of year you visit, this mountain town has much more to offer in terms of arts and culture than you might realize.

Chances are, you’ve heard of Sundance Film Festival, the world-renowned film festival that takes over our ski town every winter. But you may not know that you can actually catch critically acclaimed flicks all year round long, thanks to the local nonprofit Park City Film.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, I’d bet that the last thing you want to do is sit quietly in a room for 45 minutes. But according to Cindy Hallows, that might just be the very best thing for your well-being, both mental and physical.

There’s no doubt that cultural events and outdoor recreation are two of Park City’s greatest assets. With Sundance, Kimball Arts Festival, and numerous art galleries — plus all the skiing and biking you could want — visitors to our mountain town certainly have their pick of artistic and outdoor activities.

But combining the two can be a tall order. Thanks to the DeJoria Center, you don’t need to choose between culture or the outdoors. This world-class event and concert venue couples the beauty of Mother Nature with the thrill of live entertainment -- and it makes for a magical combination.

When it comes to outdoor recreation, the possibilities in Park City are endless. The town boasts hundreds of miles of world-class trails for hiking, biking, and all kinds of skiing. It has rivers and reservoirs for water sports. It offers rock climbing, archery, horseback riding, and more.
