No. UT: Winter Wonderland Hike ~ Park City in January

About This Event

Utah’s Park City is renowned for its world-class skiing, but it also offers a stunning winter hiking experience that should not be missed. In January, when the landscape is blanketed in snow, Park City transforms into a serene winter wonderland.

This trail will start behind the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse, and will follow the Swaner Preserve. This is a paved and groomed trail, and will be like walking on soft snow. Spikes a must!
