Reader's Digest put out a list of the 25 Most Stunning Mountain Towns in America and Park City made the list!  It is the only town in Utah named in the list. 

25 Most Stunning Mountain Towns

Park City's Flying Dog trail was named one of the top 10 Mountain Biking  in North America by Onthesnow.com! Ski resort towns are normally known for their great mountain biking trails and Park City certainly delivers in this category.  With over 400 miles of trails and so many option for mountain biking it isn't a surprise that a trail in Park City made the list.  The Flying Dog trail is located in the Glenwild area of Park City which has a plethora of trails to enjoy year round.  It is a scenic and moderate trail but there are several options to make your ride more difficult or easier.  There are options of 10, 16 or 23 mile options or something for everyone. 

Even in the winter the fantastic non-profit Mountain Trails Foundation keeps all the trails

The snow began to fall Sunday night and left a nice dusting up high on the peaks of the mountains in Park City.  Then Monday night it snowed again bringing the snow lower and leaving a few inches on the runs in Upper Deer Valley and roof tops of the homes in Silver Lake and Empire Pass.  Then Tuesday night the big storm came and all of Park City woke up to several inches of snow!  Deer Valley is saying between 8-10 inches fell and Alta is reporting 14 inches in the last 24 hours!  It is a winter wonderland in early October.   The boots and hats had to come out this morning and we have all kinds of mixed feelings about it.  

With Park City Resort opening day scheduled in about 48 days and Deer Valley Resort in about 58 days the snow is a welcome site

Craig took this photo of the “Harvest Moon” 9/24 as it came up over the Park City mountains. Farmers welcomed the extended hours of light provided by this September full moon, right at the peak time of harvesting in the fields.
