Get outside and enjoy the fresh, crisp fall air. Two of the best ways are on foot or wheels. Park City has 400+ miles of singletrack, with much of it still rideable well into late fall. Hit a local bike shop for a rental and get an idea of where to go based on current conditions.  

With the crisp, cool air and endless trails, you'll have no issue finding a truly epic alpine experience. For a few ideas, check out this list of scenic hikes or these must-ride Park City mountain bike trails.

Spend some time on the river and give fly fishing a try with one of Park City's expert guides. Park City is just 15 minutes from the Middle Provo and Weber rivers—both Blue Ribbon trout rivers—and full of the best spots to cast a fly. Being cool tailwaters, fish thrive in these river. Above and below are the Upper and Lower Provo River sections, and in the neighboring Uintas are hundreds of productive streams and lakes. It's best to book a guide, though, as many of these spots require a special permit for fishing.

Fall is the time of year to pause and reflect, to take some time for yourself. It's quieter, and the air is cool and fresh.

From yoga to massages, float pools, stretching, Pilates, and more, our little mountain town is a wellness retreat in itself, boasting a bevy of businesses committed to making you feel your best!

Spend the day at the High West Distillery in Wanship. Take a tour of the whiskey distillery before enjoying an educational tasting, followed by a delicious lunch at the High West Distillery Blue Sky location. Just to see how these aficionados craft their spirits is worth it alone to witness their passion for distilling and blending. High West is one of the most revered and well-regarded distilleries in the nation. A whiskey tour and tasting in the beautiful Blue Sky Ranch is not an experience to be missed!
