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!

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). 

Embarking on a new trail system can be daunting, what’s worse, is not knowing exactly what you’re in for. Luckily, insider tips at local bike shops coupled with today’s outdoor apps make it a bit easier for riders of all skill levels to find routes that match their ability, but it never hurts to have recommendations from locals. 

There is no denying it; winter in Park City, Utah is pretty amazing! Winter usually brings quite a bit of snow, which takes a while to melt even once the resorts close – especially at higher elevations. This can make some of the area’s trails less accessible until later into the spring/early summer.  That being said, there are plenty of low elevation trail options to explore. Hitting the trails is a fun (and active) way to get outside as spring transitions into summer. Here is a list of springtime trails/trail systems to explore this spring: 

It’s that time of year when the slopes and trails begin to soften and we await the start of another season, watching our mountains transform from bustling ski slopes to eager trail heads. But for those visiting between Mid-April and June, it can be especially unique, a time of true metamorphosis that brings with it the possibility of experiences not often enjoyed by peak-season travelers. 

Passing by a historic structure of cement and iron that has not been operational for nearly a century, a knowledgeable voice offers that the crumbling column before us was most likely used for extracting material from a mining tunnel resting hundreds of feet below us. Our snowshoeing guide and the fascinating history lesson were part of our snowshoeing journey, adding a touch of intellectual stimulation to our outing through a winter wonderland.
