As the leaves change and the weather turns crisp, we prepare for the most colorful season of the year: fall. With a large influx of home buyers moving to Park City this year, it promises to be a busy one.

While coronavirus has delayed or even canceled some events this year, there remains plenty to see and do around Park City. This, in part, is due to the beautiful, natural location of the city and the surrounding area. Whether you are looking to be festive or simply take in some beautiful sights around the city, we have you covered with a wide variety of fall events in Park City.

Take a Ride on a Hot Air Balloon

See the beautiful scenery change before your eyes with a hot air balloon ride! Whether you wish to take a big group out to the open air or just have a nice romantic night with a significant other, hot air ballooning offers a fun and unique way to see Park City and the surrounding area.

Check out the beautiful Wasatch Mountain range stretching as far as the eye can see to the west and the rest of the valley including Jordanelle State Park to your east as you glide through the air in a relaxing and unique way.

See the Spooky on a Park City Ghost Tour

With over 80 percent of the national population believing in the supernatural, most people would love a chance to go on a ghost tour. These tours begin each night on Main Street at 8pm and give you a walking tour of the most haunted places Park City has to offer.

The tour features the telling of 15 ghost stories that have been collected over the past 12 years. Through research, interviews, and field recordings, these 15 stories were chosen because they are the most accurate and the most exciting that the Park City area has to offer. The research was conducted by owners Rob and Lela Newey and Erik Hutchens, who have extensively studied metaphysics and human ESP.

To book this tour, you need to make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. The cost is $30 for adults and $15 for children aged 16 and younger.

Go on a Golfing Adventure

While it may be a lot harder to find that ball you hit in the woods, fall is the perfect time to go golfing in Park City. The only difficult part is deciding what course to play. Park City and the surrounding area are home to 15 different golf courses.

The fun part comes out on the course: a ball hit in Park City may travel a lot further than a ball you hit elsewhere. This is because of the mountain air, which may add a few yards to your shot.

Some great locations to play around Park City include Park City Golf Club, Soldier Hollow Golf Course, Wasatch Mountain Golf Course, and Canyons Golf.
