3. Snowshoe in the Uinta Mountains

Strap on those snowshoes and prepare for a winter workout that doesn’t feel like work at all! Snowshoeing in Park City transforms the Uinta mountains into your personal tromping grounds.

It’s the perfect way to reconnect with nature and burn off all those hot cocoa calories. Plus, you’ll feel like a total explorer as you blaze your own trail through the snow.

Insider Tip: Don’t walk backward in snowshoes as doing so can cause you to sink into the snow. Instead, keep moving forward to stay on top of the snow!

4. Dog Sledding Through Snowy Trails

Embrace your inner Alaskan explorer with a thrilling dog sled ride through Park City in winter. Feel the rush as a team of enthusiastic huskies pulls you through snowy trails; their excitement is contagious.

The stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains and forests will take your breath away (if the cold air hasn’t already).

Insider Tip: Book your dog sledding adventure at least a month in advance. This popular activity often sells out quickly during the winter season.

11. Catch an Indie Film

Step into the historic Egyptian Theatre and prepare to be transported – not to ancient Egypt, but to a world of top-notch entertainment.
