Family Vacations

Although snowshoeing can look intimidating, what many people don’t understand is that it’s very similar to hiking - just at a slower pace. It’s the perfect winter activity with kids because you don’t need any special instructions or lessons to get started, and Park City is full of excellent trails that are perfect for snowshoeing in the winter. Although it’s easy to get started snowshoeing, it’s also a great workout and is bound to get your heart rate up and your blood pumping! We especially love that snowshoeing is a really family-friendly winter activity, and if you take along a baby carrier or sled, you can even take babies and toddlers snowshoeing with you as well. So if the snow’s getting deep and you’re looking for an easy way to get outside, grab a pair of snowshoes and hit the trail. 

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!”

Ski enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating the reopening of ski resorts for the 2020-21 ski season. It's no surprise to anyone that this ski season will be different from anything we've ever experienced, but the good news is that resorts are planning to open back up. 

When most people think of outdoor swimming, warm summer days are the first thing that comes to mind.

Hiking in Park City can be a four-season activity that is fun for the whole family. We are lucky to live in a place where we have access to a plethora of trails that highlight some of our best scenery from shady aspen groves, high alpine lakes, and wildflowers, to autumn leaves, wildlife, and epic views.

The beauty of being in Park City is that there are so many amazing lakes nearby. We decided to go to Rockport State Park since it’s less crowded than Jordanelle or Deer Creek, but still has lots of great amenities.
