For almost 50 years, Woodward has been making action sports accessible to kids and families across the country and beyond, with a sister location at the Hard Rock Hotel on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. But the 2019 expansion has now enabled Woodward to call Park City, Utah, their newest home, and in doing so, they have already welcomed thousands of visitors seeking a piece of the adrenaline rush at 7,000 feet. 

Bountiful Rocky Mountain vistas in every direction are part of what makes Park City most magical, and thanks to the talents of many entrepreneurial locals there is an abundance of ways to soak up the scenery through brag-worthy experiences. One such offering worth calling attention to is The Viking Yurt located atop the sweeping trails of Park City Mountain.

Park City is a mecca for outdoor activities and adventures. Beautiful hiking and biking trails are abundant, for all ability levels, that make this “ski town” a genuinely world-class summer destination. Having just moved to Park City this summer, I am surprised and delighted by all the options, especially when it comes to mountain biking. From wide dirt roads and beginner singletrack to scenic cross country trails, and heart-pounding downhill options, there really is something here for everyone.

Mountain biking can be overwhelming for beginners. I know it was for me, even with plenty of experience on a cruiser and road bike, I still had my hesitations about trail riding on a mountain bike. Fortunately, All Seasons Adventures has the solution for any first-time rider (And every level beyond).

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.

It’s commonly understood that mountain biking and beer go hand-in-hand. Who doesn’t love an ice cold one after a mountain bike ride in the summer sun?  One of Park City’s local breweries, Squatters, even named one of their beers “Full Suspension” in ode to mountain biking, noting that it “really smooths out the bumps.”  There are quite a few Park City restaurants and breweries that are conveniently located at trailheads all over town.  We have a few post-ride recommendations for after you explore one of Park City’s classic mountain bike trails.
