So whether you are looking for a simple, easy hike, or something challenging, there is something for everyone of all ages.
- Fishing: Anglers will enjoy fishing in Park City, Utah, with opportunities to catch a big one, whether in the Provo or Weber river or at one of the reservoirs nearby, Echo and Rockport. Fishing can be done while standing on the banks, standing in the water, or in a kayak or boat.
- Horseback Riding: Just like humans of all ages, horses love being outdoors and being part of nature too! Horseback riding experts can help you learn how to work with the animal and teach you how to ride. Once familiar with your selected horse, an expert guide will take you along the trail.
- Up in the Sky in a Hot Air Balloon: What better way to enjoy Park City, Utah than to see it from the highest position possible? From the view of the hot air balloon, you will see the landscape of not only Park City but also Utah. Some natural landmarks to keep an eye out for include Kamas Valley, the Great Salt Lake, Wasatch Mountains, bodies of water (as mentioned above), and many gorgeous mountains and trees! You can also spot the quaintness of the historic main street and Olympic structures from the 2002 Winter Olympics as you ascend into the sky and descend back to the ground.

Outside, there are more attractions, such as Airbag Jumps, Summer Bobsled Experience, Zip Line Tour, Summer Discovery Course, and more!
