Family Vacations

Road trips have quickly become the best way to travel, but you don't have to wait for long summer days to have an amazing road trip. In fact, winter is a great time to hit the road with fewer drivers out and with a blanket of snow, even familiar landscapes look brand new and magical. If you're looking for a winter road trip destination with lots of adventure, great lodging options, and plenty of apres-ski fun, look no farther than Park City. Park City is within a day's drive of most of the western US, so it's the perfect quick winter road trip. 

Looking for a simple outdoor adventure that will help you beat the heat this summer? Head over to Park City SUP to enjoy the water, the incredible views of Deer Valley, and the amazing food next door at the Deer Valley Grocery Cafe. 

Go full throttle this summer in Park City on an electric bicycle from Pedego! Akin to a regular bicycle you are able to manually peddle a Pedego bike, but that’s where the similarities end. Pedego Electric Bikes go farther and faster, empowering you to see more in less time. With a power bank attached to your bike, you can make the decision to pedal like a regular bike, use the pedal-assist feature, or use the throttle to get the power you need when hills come your way. One could argue that riding a Pedego might be a little more fun than a regular bicycle with that differentiating WOO factor. It most definitely feels like being a kid again! 

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. 

There’s a lot more to Park City than just our skiing and outdoor adventures. We have a rich and storied historic past that began as a rambunctious silver mining town, nearly fading into history as a ghost town, and then re-invented as a ski town that grew into a world-class destination that hosts global events such as the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Sundance Film Festival. As you roam the streets of Park City you might come across abandoned mines, tram towers, and commemorative statues that are relics of our past that might peak your interest and curiosity about the history of Park City and how it all began. We’ve found one of the best ways to delve into Park City’s past is via a tour that will fully immerse you in the history and culture of our mountain town. 

Park City is an absolutely wonderful destination for the entire family. Kids and adults alike will love the variety of outdoor adventures in Park City. There is never a lack of things to do here, the problem is always choosing between so many wonderful options. Whether you’re visiting Park City with preschoolers or tweens, you’ll find something for everyone here. The ideas that I’m sharing below are all activities that we love and are perfect for kids ages 12 and under. 

June – it’s the official start of summer and, in Park City, it’s when summer events, activities, and concerts really kick off.
