Summer in Park City

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. 

Park City isn’t just known for its world-class skiing, snowboarding, and access to trails, we also

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. 

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! 

While Park City is often recognized as a world-class winter resort destination, summers here are truly magical. Perfect temperatures, 400+ miles (643+ kilometers) of easy-access trails, outdoor deck dining galore, and let us not forget the plethora of live music and outdoor concert venues. Park City and Summit County’s live music scene is back and includes something for every budget (some are FREE!) and every taste. 

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. 

Whether you’re loading the bikes or reserving your wheels, a summer weekend spent in Park City is not complete without trail time on gold-rated terrain. But with just three days to soak in all this mountain town has to offer, planning your approach can feel about as overwhelming as deciding where to eat and how to après (yes, we still do that in summer).
