Summer Activities

The July 4th holiday has come and gone and there really is nothing quite like the small town festivities that Park City enjoys on Independence Day. From the very quaint parade to activities in City Park, and the beautiful firework display with Park City Mountain Resort as a backdrop.

This week in Park City, we continue with the Wednesday night free concerts at Deer Valley, which are a locals highlight as well as this Saturday, Lyle Lovett and K.D. Lang will be performing in Deer Valley. Another event this week is the Park City Food and Wine Classic, running Thursday through Saturday. This is an opportunity for local chefs to show off their talents as well as pairings of fine wines from around the world. Friday night is a highlight with wine, food, and jazz as you stroll up and down Main Street Park City.

While we’ve had a very hot summer, for us, nights are still pleasantly cool, and extremely enjoyable. The hiking trails are in top condition, and the high altitude wildflowers are in full bloom. This is a great time to come out, enjoy the cooler summers at higher elevation, and take in all of the activities available, such as golf, tennis, biking, hiking, and all of the water sports, including terrific fly fishing.

In real estate news, there are several new developments under construction at all of the resorts, that are very interesting, and much easier to see during the summer months than in the winter. Summer is a perfect time to come out, look at real estate, as there are often exceptional bargains to be had, and access to properties is much easier now than during the busy winter months.
