MUSEUM. IT ALSO SERVED AS AN UNDERGROUND
LIFT TO THE TOP OF PARK CITY MOUNTAIN RESORT
BEFORE BEING RETIRED IN 1969.

THINGS TO DO OFF THE BIKE
While the mountain biking is
phenomenal, all good things must come to
an end, so what do you do with your time
when you’re not in the saddle?
Park City Museum is worth a peek
if you’re a history or mining buff. Give
yourself a couple of hours to enjoy the
interactive displays and don’t forget to pick
up a copy of the treasure hunt map from
the front desk. While it’s meant for kids,
adults enjoy it, too.
Another stop that I enjoyed was the
tour of the High West Distillery. We learned
about the whiskey distilling process along
with the history of the Utah liquor laws.
Even the architecture of the building is
fascinating, plus they have a fabulous
menu! And I have to admit that a bottle of
whiskey did find itself in my suitcase after
indulging in their whiskey sampler.
If shopping is more your thing, there
are several shops lining the streets of
Historic Park City and every Sunday from
June to September, Main Street hosts a
farmers market. While it rained the day I
checked it out, it didn’t deter the vendors
or the crowds.

PLACES TO EAT
It’s a good thing we spent several hours
on the bike each day because the food was
amazing! From large, hearty breakfasts at
Squatters Roadhouse Grill to Southwestern
dinners at Chimayo, I was in food heaven.
While the dining can be a bit pricey, there
are great 2-for-1 coupons in the Park City
Restaurant Guide (also available online).
Breakfast: If you have a large appetite,
the Squatters Roadhouse Grill is your best
bet, and the prices are reasonable. I also
recommend the Deer Valley Resort Cafe if
A RIDER AT THE TRAILSIDE BIKE PARK.
