Want to get your kids outside and exploring the beautiful mountains around Park City, but you’re not quite sure how to do it? The good news is that hiking is one of the easiest and safest outdoor adventures to do with your kids. After years of trial and error with my kids, I can’t wait to share the tips I’ve learned that help everyone have fun on the trail together.​

Nestled into the hills of Park City Mountain is private land owned by Red Pine Adventures. The oasis of pine trees and flowing streams have been in owner Roger Osguthorpe’s family for generations, and today, Roger offers the public to tour the natural environment through his company’s seasonal experiences. In the wintertime, snowmobiling and snowshoeing adventures are available through a reservation, and in the summer season, Roger’s thirty-some horses take small groups on one and a half hour excursions into refreshing aspen groves and atop the sloping mountainside for truly one-with-nature experiences.

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.

Even when there’s no snow, there’s still plenty for the whole family to do this summer at Park City Mountain. Yes, Park City Mountain is a great year-round resort with lots of unique and fun activities for the entire family. And in the heat of the summer, is there anything better than escaping to the mountains for some fresh air and fun?  

We recently took our kids up to explore what there was to do, and even though they range in age from 2 to 12, it wasn’t hard to find something that everyone loved there. 

With over 100 historic sites throughout Park City, White Pine Touring offers not only an educational experience but a beautiful scenic ride through town.

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.

At 3,900 feet (1189 meters) stretching over Deer Creek Reservoir, the Screaming Falcon Big Line at Zipline Utah is the longest over-water zip line in the world.
