As August winds down and the crispness of fall approaches, Park City still has plenty of sunshine and vibrant energy. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the “shoulder season” offers a perfect chance to soak up the last of summer before the slopes take over.
Here are five must-experience spots to close out the summer in style.
1. Outdoor Dining on Main Street
Patios along Historic Main Street are buzzing this time of year. Enjoy a glass of wine at Riverhorse on Main or tapas at 710 Bodega while watching the late-summer sunsets bounce off the Wasatch Mountains.
2. Trail Rides and E-Bikes
Park City’s trail network shines in late summer. With wildflowers still clinging to the hillsides, mountain biking and e-bike rides are a must. Try the Rail Trail for a relaxed spin, or Mid Mountain Trail for something more adventurous.
3. Park Silly Sunday Market
Through early September, this local favorite brings art, food, music, and a street-fair vibe to Main Street every Sunday. It’s a great place to mingle, shop local, and enjoy live performances.
4. Outdoor Concerts at Canyons Village
The Canyons Village Summer Concert Series is free, lively, and the perfect way to wind down a weekend. Bring a blanket, sip something cold, and let the music carry you into the evening.
5. Jordanelle State Park
For those craving lake time, Jordanelle is ideal for paddleboarding, boating, or simply relaxing by the water with mountain views all around.
Final Take
Park City isn’t just a winter playground. As summer gives way to fall, these experiences capture the essence of mountain living and remind us why this community is truly special year-round.
