World-class ski destinations like Park City are also known to be epic mountain biking meccas during the warmer months. Once the snow melts and the trails clear out, there are miles and miles of gorgeous paths winding through the untouched mountain forest.

Boasting plenty of space so there are little to no crowds, plus lots of opportunities to pull off for a lunch break into a peaceful spot that’s filled with wildflowers and birdsong, our premier mountain biking trails are nothing short of magnificent.

Here are three of our all-time favorites.

Armstrong & Pinecone Ridge Trails

This beautiful ride begins at the Silver Star chair lift area on Park City Mountain. We recommend driving or taking the bus to the lift area. Then from there, you can climb the Armstrong trail for a little over two miles. At the top of the trail, you’ll take a left to connect to the Pinecone Ridge trail and climb some more— for a little over 4 miles. Once you reach the top, you’ll be at 9,800 feet! Here, we recommend enjoying a nice break and taking in the beauty of the magnificent views. 

With nearly six miles of steady climbing, this path is not for beginners— but it sure is worth the effort!

Kamas Valley

If you’re up for a short drive, the Kamas Valley mountain biking is extraordinary— and great for beginners. About a 20-minute drive from Park City, this lovely valley is filled with easy-to-moderate trails that have amazing ridge views. The trailhead is just north of High Star Ranch, and you can also stop here on your way out for a delicious lunch or snack. 

With over 20 miles of flowing trails that are filled with flowers and wildlife, this is a perfect spot to make a day of mountain biking. 

An Easy Family Loop

Just across the street from the famous McPolin Barn & Farm is a paved trail that turns into gravel and follows a serene mountain stream. Along the way, you’ll pass by a fun playground with restrooms, a dog park, a wood bridge, a classic barn, and even a charming shopping center with a Cold Stone Creamery.

With many places to stop and explore, this is an ideal path to take the whole family and explore the area. 

Moose Management and Mountain Biking Go Hand-in-Hand

With dozens of rentals to choose from, Moose Management has the perfect spot for you to call home while you peddle your way around town. From studio spots for two to larger homes with space for the whole gang, we’ve got you covered.

Give us a call, send us a text, or shoot us an email and let’s start planning your summertime mountain biking adventure today.

It’s no secret that here in Park City, we’re experienced professionals when it comes to wintertime fun. Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snowshoeing— you name it and chances are, we do it. 

But you know what else we’re really good at too? Summertime adventure.

When the sun is shining and the temperatures are high, our gorgeous mountain ridges and epic hiking trails really heat up. But there’s so much more to do than simply hiking or biking around. Our historic canyon town also comes alive with tons of local events and heritage festivities. 

Here are a couple of things we’re looking forward to this summer.

July 4th 5K Fun Run

This year, this fantastic Park City tradition will be larger than ever— boasting over 1,000 participants of all ages and abilities. Held from 8 AM to 10 AM on July 4, 2022, this fun summer holiday event has a rich historic tradition dating back to the early 1980s and also raises money for local charities as well. 

You can register for the race here, and each participant receives a commemorative t-shirt.

Independence Day Festivities

From fireworks to festivals to parades down historic Main Street, the Park City experts at our Moose Management offices can help you plan an amazing 4th of July holiday for your whole family. We also have lots of rental homes to choose from that can place you front and center to all of the fun and excitement that surrounds this popular summer holiday. 

Give us a call or drop us a line and let’s start planning today. 

Pioneer Day

An uber-popular holiday in Utah that often defines the height of summertime fun, Pioneer Day is held every year at the end of July and celebrates the arrival of the Mormon community, led by Brigham Young, into the area. 

This year the Pioneer Day holiday falls on Sunday, July 24, 2022, with banks and Utah state offices often closed on the Monday after the holiday. Throughout that weekend, there are often parades and fireworks to highlight the day.

We’re Your Warm Weather Wingman

Moose Management has dozens of homes to choose from that will fit your family perfectly. From cozy studious to sprawling five-bedroom estates, there’s something for everyone. 

Check out the condominiums at Prospector Condos— conveniently located in downtown Park City and offering a host of extras including a sparkling swimming pool, relaxing hot tub, a barbeque area for grilling, and a firepit for gathering together. 

Get in touch today and let’s begin planning your 2022 summertime getaway to the mountains.

Our Park City winters are kinda famous— and rightfully so. Our mountain peaks and ski slopes are downright legendary, and even played host to the Winter Olympics not too long ago! So we understand if “winter” and “Park City” are somewhat synonymous in your head. We get it.

But we also want to take a moment to show you some of the truly spectacular things to do in Park City in the summertime. When the snow melts and the wildflowers start to bloom, our mountain city literally comes alive. And since we’re more popular in winter, the crowds sort of melt with the snow and disappear too. 

Come with us while we let you in on a few of our favorite things to do and places to stay in Park City for the summer season of 2022. 

Fabulous Hiking and Mountain Biking Trails

Once the temps warm-up, it’s time to slip out of your skis and into a pair of hiking boots. Our rugged mountain terrain has some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world.

The Jennis Trail is a newer trail that begins at the Park City Mountain Resort and ascends about 1,400 feet up to give you some truly spectacular views. The trail is about 5 miles one way. And since it’s sort of new it’s also wide and flat and well-maintained. Bring a sack lunch and make a day of it!

Fantastic Fly Fishing

Home to two of the “fishiest” rivers in the Rocky Mountains, the Weber River and the Provo River, Park City has lots of opportunities for you to try your hand at catching “the big one” for dinner. Then, you can take your delicious catch home to your Moose Management vacation rental home and fire it up on the grill.

Park City Fly Fishing Guides is one of our favorite places to schedule a day of fly fishing while you’re in town. 

Heavenly Horseback Riding

It’s hard to improve upon the magnificent vistas that Park City offers around every turn, but somehow seeing those views from horseback just makes them that much more special.

One of our favorite stables is called Wind In Your Hair Riding— honestly, how can you beat that name? They have guided trail tours for experienced riders and lessons for beginners. Giddyup!

Stay and Play in Park City

If you’re searching for the ideal place to call home for your summertime adventure in Park City— we recommend Prospector Condos. Perfectly located in the downtown Park City Prospector area, you’ll be close to all the shops and restaurants, plus you’ll be just steps away from the gorgeous Rail Trail for hiking and mountain biking. There’s even a pool and hot tub for soaking up the warm summer weather in style.
