Stargazing in Park City, Skiing and Sundance

Park City, UT is a place that is referred to as "Sin City" of Utah. It is nestled near the Wasatch Mountains and offers activities all year round. Walking through the streets of downtown, you never know who you may see. In January, the Sundance Film Festival brings celebrities and movie lovers alike.

Ski Resorts

The Canyons Resort is one of the five largest ski resorts in the country. It boasts 8 mountains, 146 trails, and 3500 acres of diverse terrain. Even if you don't ski, you can have lunch at mid mountain. The Canyons Resort also has two spas on property. I visited Papillon and experienced the mountain mud wrap. It was very relaxing, as was the resort itself.

Deer Valley Resort has been open for 24 years and has immaculate, uncrowded slopes. During the summer months, the slopes are still in use for hiking and mountain biking. Deer Valley's on-mountain cuisine offered the best dessert in Park City. You have to try them all.

Park City Mountain Resort has enough terrain to satisfy any caliber of skier. You can take the ski lift from Park City itself. During the summer, the alpine slides and zip lines are a hit for the whole family.

Lodging

There are so many choices that it is hard to make a decision. Premier resorts offers lodging throughout Park City and Deer Valley Lodge. The free shuttle system keeps all the lodging, ski resorts, and the city connected for the ease of visitors. The most luxurious lodge is the Stein Erikson lodge. To stay here, you have to book at least a year in advanced.

Restaurants

Morning Ray Cafe offers a delicious diner style breakfast. It is located in the heart of dowtown. Stein Erikson Lodge offers three different gourmet hot chocolates with breakfast. Wahso, an Asian cuisine restaurant in downtown offered the best ambiance for a romantic dinner.

Other Activities

One of the most romantic things you can do in Park City is to experience a hot air balloon ride. The backdrop of the mountains and the colors of a sunrise are breaktaking to behold.

The Sundance Film Festival runs the last two weeks of January each year. Showings are at different venues throughout the area, including Ogden, Salt Lake City, and the Sundance Resort area. For more information about Sundance, visit http://festival.sundance.org

Park City is full of culture, history, and nightlife for any couple or visitor. Take advantage of the seasonal specials offered at http://www.parkcityinfo.com
