The summer season may be nearing an end, but the long, sunny days aren’t over yet. There’s still plenty to enjoy in and around Park City before the leaves turn and the fall season gets underway. Here are some of our favorite activities to make the most of the early days and weeks of September.
Park City Mountain Resort – Monday, September 7 is closing day for the Alpine Slide and the Mountain Coaster. The slide features 3,000 feet of luge-like track, making it one of the longest slides in the world, and with multiple tracks, you can experience a different ride each time. The Mountain Coaster is Utah’s longest, with more than a mile of loops and curves and speeds up to 25mph. Enjoy the scenery while you get your adrenaline pumping. Scenic Lift Rides also end on Monday, providing access to miles of hiking trails, or you can simply cruise up and down, enjoying the ride and the views.
Utah Wine Festival – The festival is underway this weekend in Cedar City, where you can learn about Utah’s beautiful vineyards and wineries.
