Day 1
Once you’ve had a leisurely breakfast in the comfort of your Park City vacation rental booked through Summit Luxury Vacations, there’s no better place to start your adventure seeker’s journey than Utah Olympic Park. Formerly the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Utah Olympic Park remains a popular visitor destination in town, a training destination for world-class athletes, and a great place to enjoy some adventurous outings too. Here, you can enjoy time on the Extreme Zip zipline soaring over beautiful terrain at breathtaking speeds. There are also options to try an obstacle course and climbing wall as well.
After lunch, you’ll be swapping out your sky-high ziplining adventures for a thrilling time on the trails. Head over to Stillman Ranch, where you can book a horseback riding tour alongside a knowledgeable and friendly guide. These tours are typically anywhere from 2 to 4 hours long and include dinner upon request. If you’re an experienced equestrian, there are options to pick up the pace on the ride as you pair an amazing Park City adventure with stunning sightseeing opportunities.
Dine in Fireside Style
After a day of adrenaline-pumping fun, feel free to slow things down in luxury and style with a dinner enjoyed at Deer Valley Resort’s Fireside Dining. The alpine and European-inspired menu here is sure to please and the cozy fireplace aesthetic is endlessly inviting. Don’t miss out on their amazing drink menu to match the moment.
Day 2
The second day of your Park City adventure stay will begin at the city’s Alpine Coaster.

Reaching speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, this coaster is one you’ll want to hold on tight for. It’s equipped with a hand brake that lets you customize your thrills as you slide down nearly 3,000 feet of fun.
Once you’ve refueled with a robust lunch, it’s time to get out on the water and enjoy a rafting adventure that’s one-of-a-kind. Local companies like Destination Sports and Adventures, Park City Rafting, and All Seasons Adventures are happy to help you book a customized afternoon of on-the-water fun. Rafting excursions are typically booked at two-hour experiences and whether you set your sights on the Weber River or the Provo River, you’re in for a treat.
Savor the Moment at High West Saloon
This evening, dine in Western style complete with costumes and all the Western-inspired décor you could ask for at the High West Saloon. You can’t go wrong with a mouthwatering burger, while the pretzels are sure to inspire too. Whatever you do, don’t leave without trying at least one of their specialty handcrafted cocktails.
Day 3
The final day of your adventurous stay in Park City will kick off with a sky-high view. You’ll want to be sure to book a hot air balloon for sunrise that takes you up and away for breathtaking vistas over the Wasatch Mountains and beautifully rugged skyline. Alongside your knowledgeable captain, you’ll enjoy a customized float over the terrain. Be sure to bring your camera as you’re bound to find heart-pounding views you’ll want to remember long after you’ve returned to Earth.
After lunch, you’ll be partnering up with Wasatch Excursions on day three to make the most of ATV backcountry thrills.
