We often are asked "Where is a great place to hike in Park City?" So, we finally have gotten out ourselves and have been exploring some great hikes that have been recommended to us over the years. As an avid mountain biker and skateboarder, I simply have not dedicated much time to hiking. Wow! Was I amazed to find a few of these great hikes that we have right in our backyard. A few weeks ago we posted about a great hike off of Guardsman Pass going up the ridge to Peak 10,420'. It was a beautiful high elevation hike with distant views. And that was only the tip of the iceberg!

A Favorite for Year-Round Residents and Families

Silver Springs is a popular neighborhood for homes in Park City. Why is this neighborhood so popular? Its location, homes, and environment fit the Park City lifestyle very well.

Silver Springs is located near the base of the Canyons Ski Resort (now run by Vail Resorts) and is only a couple minute drive to skiing in the winter, and biking in the summer. As with all neighborhoods in Park City, this community also benefits from being so close to Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley ski resort as well. Silver Springs is in the MLS area of Park City commonly referred to as "Park City Extended". Park City or "Park City Proper" would include all the areas located inside the White Barn (south of the…

Recommendations on a few top choices of trails in Park City Utah.

Its summertime in Park City and for those lucky enough to know, summer can be just as much fun (or more so) as our popular winter season. As we get through June, we typically see the mountain trails open up as the higher elevation snow finally melts away. For the past few weeks we have been mostly confined to the lower elevation trails for hiking and biking such as the very popular and easy Round Valley. Round Valley is a great choice for early and late season riding. It is at a lower elevation, and gets a lot of sun so the area dries out quickly and is one of the first locations to be ridable in spring.

Three Top Recommendations for Biking Trails

There is a huge network of…
