Curator’s statement
Park City, once a tiny miner's town, is nestled into the Wasatch Mountains. It offers stunning vistas, abundant wildlife & is only a 45 minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport. Now that Park City has become much more commercialized, I'd like to provide a unique winter "insiders to-do guide" for you and your family, being I'm a local for over 10 years.
