Summer Activities & Outdoor Adventures

Park City isn’t just a winter destination—it’s incredible in the Spring / Summer / Fall.

Top Activities:
– Hiking

Pro Tip:
For e-bike rental, we like White Pine Touring or Jans (because of their bikes).

If you’ve never tried fly-fishing, book through Jans – they provide everything. You’ll get fitted the afternoon before fishing, and then on your reservation day they send you a GPS drop pin where the fish are biting just before your excursion.

Events & Seasonal Highlights

Park City hosts events year-round.

Major Events:
– Ski season
– Summer concerts
– Holiday events, 4^th of July is awesome

Pro Tip:

3 places to find summer concerts that aren’t obvious: for outdoor Deer Valley shows, search for the Utah Symphony/Utah Opera site. This is the classic Park City outdoor summer venue. Also look at Red Butte Garden (on U of Utah campus), large but beautiful (25 min away). Finally, the French restaurant La Caille (25 min away in Sandy UT) has free concerts (like an Eagles cover band) with one of the best views around—these are usually only announced 2-3 weeks in advance.
