BP: Place

Nestled high in the Wasatch Mountains is the cozy and quaint historic mining town-Park City, Utah. This place stands out amongst the many ski resort areas Americans venture to throughout the winter, primarily because the layout of the town and the design choices are so unique. One of the best aspects of Park City is that it is 32 miles from Salt Lake City, which allows for that serene separation that is highly desired on any vacation. Being outside of town doesn’t stop this place from having all accommodations and entertainment you could ever need.  Gourmet restaurants, high end boutiques, and art galleries line the small streets that run through the heart of this place. Allowing for new experiences each time you come to visit.

Although Park City has made itself tourist friendly, the history of this town continues to be maintained and cherished. Previously a mining town, Park City holds on to its roots and by keeping many of the original buildings and mines, when walking down the streets you get a sense of what it might have been like in the 19^th century. Park city is immune to urban sprawl due to the mountains that surround it. Because of this land is limited, which makes real estate here precious and very expensive. Tiny, pastel colored Victorian houses fill the neighborhoods just a couple blocks from Main Street, creating a picturesque sight with the mountains as a backdrop.

Another distinctive feature of this place is that Park City Mountain Resort is the only resort with lift access directly to the town's historic Main Street. You can literally ski down to the heart of the city, grab some lunch at one of the 5 star restaurants, and then ride the Quit N’ Time or the Creole lift back up to the largest ski resort that has access directly from Main Street Park City in North America!
