Fly Fishing Park City: The Best Rivers, Guides, & Tips for 2025

Posted on by Tristan Barta

Discovering Park City's Fly Fishing Paradise with a local guide with 20 years of experience

“Tucked in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, Park City is known for world-class skiing, scenic hiking, and now—more than ever—year-round fly fishing.” – Jeff Harwin, Park City Fly Fishing Co.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or curious beginner, the Park City area offers pristine rivers, alpine lakes, and expert guides ready to get you on the water. With trout-rich waters and mountain backdrops, fly fishing here is more than a sport—it’s a soul-refreshing experience.

The Best Fly Fishing Spots Near Park City

Provo River (Upper, Middle & Lower)

The Provo River is Utah’s most famous blue-ribbon trout stream—and for good reason. It fishes well year-round, holds healthy populations of wild brown and rainbow trout, and has access points within 20–40 minutes of Park City.

Upper Provo

  • Location: Near the Mirror Lake Highway east of Kamas.
  • What to Expect: Remote and wild. Great for small dry flies and hopper-dropper setups. Fish aren’t picky but can be spooky.
  • Best Flies: Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Adams, Pheasant Tail Nymphs.
  • Insider Tip: Fish early in the season (June–July) before flows drop. Bring bug spray—mosquitoes are fierce. Hike upstream past the campgrounds for solitude.

Middle Provo

  • Location: Between Jordanelle and Deer Creek Reservoirs, accessible via Heber City.
  • What to Expect: Tailwater fishery with consistent flows and epic hatches. You’ll find brown trout rising to dries in summer and hugging the bottom in winter.
  • Best Flies: Sow bugs, PMDs, Blue-Winged Olives, Zebra Midges.
  • Insider Tip: Access from River Road or the Legacy Bridge. Watch for risers along soft seams and tailouts in the evening. Use 5x or 6x tippet in low, clear water.

Lower Provo

  • Location: Below Deer Creek Reservoir through Provo Canyon.
  • What to Expect: Cold, clear, technical water. Great winter fishery. Heavy pressure, so presentation matters.
  • Best Flies: Midges (black/red), WD-40s, scuds, emergers.
  • Insider Tip: Ideal for winter fishing when other spots are iced over. Fish mid-morning to mid-afternoon during midge hatches.

Weber River

Flowing northwest of Park City, the Weber River is a more rustic, under-the-radar gem. Sections near Wanship and Coalville offer productive waters, especially in late spring and early fall.

  • Location: Access via Wanship, Coalville, and Morgan.
  • What to Expect: Pocket water, deep runs, and pools that hold big browns. Flows can vary widely—check before you go.
  • Best Flies: Golden Stones, Caddis, Hare’s Ear, San Juan Worms.
  • Insider Tip: The stretch between Rockport and Echo Reservoirs has great structure. Watch out for private land—stick to bridges and public easements. Drift soft hackles through deeper slots on overcast days.

Strawberry Reservoir

Strawberry is a stillwater haven for larger fish. Known for its rainbow and cutthroat trout, this is a great option for float tubing or fly fishing from a pontoon boat. Ideal for anglers seeking to catch a trophy fish.

  • Location: About 45 minutes southeast of Park City via Hwy 40.
  • What to Expect: Big, open water known for fat cutthroat and rainbow trout. Best accessed by float tube, pontoon, or small boat.
  • Best Flies: Woolly Buggers, Balanced Leeches, Chironomids under indicators.
  • Insider Tip: Try Mud Creek or Renegade Point early in the morning. Fish deep in summer (20–30 feet). Use slow retrieves with leeches along drop-offs.

Uinta Mountain Streams & Lakes

Just east of Park City, the Uinta Mountains are laced with hundreds of creeks, streams, and high alpine lakes. These lesser-fished waters offer native brook, tiger, and cutthroat trout. Bring your lightweight rod, and don’t forget the bug spray—this is true backcountry bliss.

  • Location: About an hour east of Park City via Mirror Lake Highway (SR-150).
  • What to Expect: Hundreds of alpine lakes and small streams. Native brook and tiger trout thrive in cold, oxygen-rich water.
  • Best Flies: Ants, beetles, small hoppers, Griffith’s Gnats.
  • Insider Tip: Hike into Ruth Lake, Fehr Lake, or the Chain Lakes for uncrowded action. 3-weight rods are perfect. Dry flies work best from late June to early September.

Green River (Advanced, Day Trip Option)

Though further afield, the famed Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a must-fish. With thousands of fish per mile and crystal-clear flows, it’s often considered one of the top 10 fly fishing rivers in the U.S.

  • Location: About 3.5 hours from Park City; perfect for a guided float trip.
  • What to Expect: Possibly the best trout fishery in the West. Thousands of fish per mile, clear water, and epic scenery.
  • Best Flies: Cicadas (early summer), scuds, midges, streamers.
  • Insider Tip: Book a guide and do a full-day float through Section A (Dutch John to Little Hole). Use 6x tippet and focus on sight-casting in the morning light.

Best Times to Fly Fish in Park City

Fly fishing in Park City is a four-season activity—each with unique highlights:

  • Spring (March–May): Snowmelt begins, making for dynamic flows and exciting hatches. Midges and blue-wing olives dominate. Great time for streamer fishing.
  • Summer (June–August): Long days and warmer temps bring abundant insect activity—especially caddis, PMDs, and terrestrials. Early morning and dusk offer the best dry fly action.
  • Fall (September–November): Fall colors meet aggressive pre-spawn trout. Cool temps and fewer crowds make this a local favorite season.
  • Winter (December–February): Yes, winter fly fishing is a thing here! The Lower Provo stays open and fishable year-round. Bundle up, cast short, and enjoy peaceful, snow-covered solitude.

Essential Fly Fishing Gear

Whether hiring a guide or going solo, make sure you’re equipped with:

  • Rod & Reel: A 9-foot, 5-weight rod is ideal for most local rivers. Consider a 4-weight for smaller streams and a 6-weight for lake fishing.
  • Fly Line & Leader: A weight-forward floating line with 9-foot tapered leaders works for most situations. Adjust your tippet size based on clarity and fly type.
  • Flies:
    • Spring: Midges, BWO nymphs
    • Summer: Caddis, PMDs, ants, hoppers
    • Fall: Streamers, egg patterns
    • Winter: Midge larvae, scuds
  • Waders & Boots: Breathable chest waders and rubber-soled boots with good traction are essential.
  • Other Essentials: Polarized sunglasses, hemostats, floatant, net, fly box, sunscreen, and bug spray.

Techniques for Success

Reading the Water
Learn to identify where fish hold—look for seams between fast and slow water, undercut banks, and behind rocks or eddies.

Casting
A simple overhead or roll cast works in most situations. Practice accuracy and soft presentations, especially on the Provo where fish are often spooky.

Presentation
A natural drift is critical. Use a dead-drift technique with dry flies or nymphs, and twitch streamers subtly when retrieving.

Top 10 Things to Do in Park City in May

Posted on by Tristan Barta

May in Park City is a perfect shoulder season – think bluebird skies, blooming trails, and blissfully fewer crowds. It’s that magical in-between time when the mountains trade snow for wildflowers and locals finally take a breather. Whether you’re chasing outdoor thrills, craving creative culture, or just want to bounce around at Woodward, spring in Park City offers a bit of everything. From hiking under sunny skies to savoring farm-fresh bites, here are the top 10 activities to make the most of Park City in May.

1. Hit the Spring Hiking Trails

Swap your ski boots for hiking boots and explore Park City’s early-season trails. Low-elevation areas like the Round Valley trail system tend to dry out by mid-spring, offering miles of easy-to-moderate paths dotted with wildflowers. You’ll catch crisp mountain air, budding aspens, and sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains — all without summer’s usual crowds. Pro tip: pack layers, plenty of water, and a camera. May mornings start cool but quickly warm into glorious sunny afternoons.

2. Pedal Park City’s Scenic Roads

If you love two wheels and fresh mountain air, spring road biking in Park City is about as good as it gets. Cruise the smooth, scenic paths that weave through town, like the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail, stretching from Park City all the way out to Echo Reservoir. Or challenge yourself with a climb up Royal Street toward Deer Valley — a local favorite ride with breathtaking views (and minimal May traffic!). Check out these seven popular road bike trails to experience during your stay.

Bringing your own bike? Newpark Resort offers complimentary bike storage, making it easy to hop straight onto the trails. Prefer to pack light? No problem — local shops nearby rent road bikes, cruisers, and even e-bikes so you can find the perfect ride for your spring adventure. With sunny skies, cool temperatures, and wide-open roads, May is a dream season for cyclists.

Check out these local businesses to assist with your bike adventures:

  • Pedego rents e-bikes of all sorts and sizes, including kids’ trailer add-ons.
  • Storm Cycles is just a few steps away from Newpark. They can assist with bike service, supplies, and demos.
  • At Newpark Resort, we also have cruiser bikes available for rent through the front desk

3. Take a Scenic Drive

Craving jaw-dropping views without the heavy breathing? May is a great month for a scenic drive through Utah’s stunning backcountry. Guardsman Pass (if open) delivers snow-dusted peaks, aspen groves just waking up, and winding curves made for convertible cruising. If the pass hasn’t cleared yet, head to the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway starting from nearby Kamas, where mountain lakes start to glisten against springtime snowbanks. With fewer vehicles on the roads, it’s just you, the mountains, and your favorite playlist.

4. Unwind with Spa & Hot Tub Time

After an adrenaline-packed day, it’s time for some serious R&R. Park City’s spas embrace spring with seasonal specials — think mud wraps, mountain stone massages, and refreshing facials perfect for reviving winter-weary skin. Or simply soak away your cares in a private balcony hot tub at Newpark Resort, where you can watch the Swaner Preserve come alive with new life while you sink into bubbling bliss. Whether you’re seeking deep tissue relaxation or a deep conversation with your inner zen, May is the perfect time to recharge.

5. Immerse in Arts & Culture

Who says mountain towns can’t do high culture? In May, Park City’s creative side steps into the spotlight. Catch a live performance at the Egyptian Theatre–concerts, plays, and the hilarious and beloved “Park City Follies”, poking fun at the town’s quirks. Wander into the Park City Museum for a glimpse of our mining-town roots. And don’t miss the Last Friday Gallery Stroll, where galleries open their doors for an evening of art, music, and complimentary nibbles. It’s a refreshing way to tap into the soul of Park City — no hiking boots required.

6. Family Fun at Swaner Preserve

If you’re traveling with kids (or just young at heart), Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter offers a wild — yet wonderfully tame — way to spend a spring day. Stroll easy trails through the wetlands, watch for sandhill cranes and deer, or explore hands-on exhibits inside the EcoCenter that teach about local ecosystems. Bonus points if you spot a fox or a blue heron! Every Saturday, naturalists lead guided walks where you’ll learn fascinating tidbits about the plants and animals emerging with the season.

7. Shred at Woodward Park City

Who says the thrill ends when the snow melts? Woodward Park City keeps the action alive year-round. Bounce your way across massive indoor trampolines, ride skateparks designed for every skill level, or take to the lift-accessed snow runs if winter lingers into May. Mountain biking, BMX riding, parkour courses, and tubing are all on the menu depending on the day. Whether you’re sending your first backflip into a foam pit or chasing your kids up the ninja course, Woodward is where the energy never takes a season off.

8. Savor Park City’s Flavors

Dining in May is its own special treat: no long waits, special spring menus, and deals designed to tempt locals out of hibernation. Tuck into elevated mountain cuisine at Riverhorse on Main, sip craft cocktails at High West Distillery, or enjoy a sun-soaked lunch on a patio along Main Street. Many restaurants run “locals’ specials” — so it’s the perfect time to indulge without breaking the bank.

9. Tee Off at a Mountain Golf Course

Golf and mountains? Yes, please. May is when local courses spring back to life, offering gorgeous fairways framed by snowcapped peaks. Park City Golf Club is an accessible favorite close to downtown, while Canyons Golf (opens at the end of May) offers dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views. For even more options, venture a bit farther to Soldier Hollow or Wasatch Mountain State Park for championship layouts that will have you reaching for your camera almost as often as your driver. Cool temps, fewer crowds, and epic scenery make spring golf a hidden Park City gem.

10. Stroll Historic Main Street

Wander Historic Main Street and you’ll feel it: the relaxed heartbeat of spring. Victorian buildings wear fresh coats of paint, flower boxes spill color onto the sidewalks, and shopkeepers have time to chat about their favorite hiking trails or dinner spots. Browse galleries, pick up handcrafted souvenirs, or just settle into a sunny bench with an ice cream and soak in the laid-back energy. With winter’s frenzy behind and summer’s crowds still ahead, May offers a more intimate Main Street experience.

Enjoy Your May in Park City!

Whether you’re hiking among wildflowers, teeing off under snowcapped peaks, bouncing at Woodward, or simply soaking in a private hot tub with a mountain view, May in Park City is all about fresh adventures and easygoing charm. And there’s no better place to experience it all than Newpark Resort. Our suites offer the perfect mix of comfort and style — think private decks, cozy fireplaces, luxurious soaking tubs, and, yes, your own hot tub under the stars. You’ll also be just steps from local dining, shopping, and trail access, with Park City’s free transit system ready to take you wherever the day leads. It’s the best of all worlds — outdoor thrills, cultural finds, and plenty of room to breathe. Come see why this sweet shoulder season just might be Park City’s best-kept secret.

Park City’s Best Kept Secret: Private Hot Tubs at Newpark Resort

Posted on by Riester Admin

Imagine this: the crisp mountain air, a sky filled with stars, and the soothing warmth of your own private, outdoor hot tub. Whether you’re relaxing after an adrenaline-packed day on the slopes, enjoying a romantic evening, or indulging in some well-deserved downtime, Newpark Resort provides a truly exclusive experience unlike any other in Park City.

Looking for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway? A private hot tub on the balcony of your suite or townhouse at Newpark Resort elevates relaxation to a whole new level. More than just a way to unwind, soaking in a hot tub soothes the body, clears the mind, and creates an intimate atmosphere where you can disconnect from the outside world. There’s no rush and no sharing with strangers—just you, the open sky, and pure relaxation.

With private decks and freshly filled hot tubs available only in our suites and townhomes, you can experience relaxation at its finest—without the crowds, without the rush, and with breathtaking views as your backdrop.

Benefits of Private Balcony Hot Tubs

The benefits go beyond simple comfort. Hot tubs are known for their therapeutic effects, easing muscle tension and improving circulation. The heat and buoyancy work together to reduce joint stiffness, making them especially beneficial after a long day of skiing or hiking in Park City. Enhanced circulation also promotes detoxification and skin health, leaving you feeling refreshed inside and out. And if you’re visiting with a partner, there’s nothing quite like sharing a soak under the stars—it’s an effortless way to reconnect and create lasting memories.

While spa treatments and wellness retreats can be expensive, having a private hot tub in your Newpark Resort suite or townhome is an indulgence that feels exclusive yet effortlessly accessible. Unlike traditional in-room tubs, which lack fresh air and scenic views, our outdoor hot tubs let you soak while taking in the breathtaking backdrop of the Swaner Nature Preserve or the Wasatch Mountains.

One often-overlooked benefit of an evening soak is better sleep. Studies have shown that the gradual cooling of the body after stepping out of a hot tub can promote deeper, more restful sleep. The combination of warm water relaxation and Park City’s fresh mountain air makes for the perfect recipe for a rejuvenating night’s rest.

At Newpark Resort, your private hot tub isn’t just an amenity—it’s an experience. Whether you’re unwinding after an adventurous day, spending quality time with a loved one, or simply treating yourself to a well-deserved escape, your stay here will leave you refreshed, recharged, and ready for whatever comes next.

The Perfect End to Any Day

No matter the season, your private hot tub is ready to help you unwind. Winter visitors can melt away the chill after a day skiing Park City’s world-class slopes, watching the snowfall as the steam rises. In the summer, after hiking or biking through Utah’s breathtaking trails, there’s no better way to refresh than with a peaceful soak under the open sky. Even if you’re here on business, stepping into your own hot tub at the end of the day turns any work trip into a true retreat.

Ways a hot tub soak can aid sleep:

Relaxation and Stress Reduction – Soaking in a hot tub can help relax muscles and calm the mind, easing tension and stress that can interfere with sleep.

Hydrotherapy Benefits – The combination of warm water and hydrotherapy (like jets) can promote blood circulation and reduce muscle tension.

Mimicking Natural Temperature Regulation – Your body temperature naturally drops before sleep, and a warm bath or hot tub soak followed by a cool-down period can encourage this process.

Sleep Quality Improvement – Studies have shown that regular hot tub use can lead to deeper, more restful, and continuous sleep.

Hormone Release – Soaking in a hot tub may stimulate the release of hormones that promote sleep, such as serotonin and dopamine

Time Your Soak – For optimal sleep benefits, a hot tub soak 60-120 minutes before bedtime can allow your body enough time to cool down and prepare for sleep.

Why Choose a Suite with a Private, Outdoor Hot Tub?

This isn’t just a luxury—it’s a way to make your Park City stay unforgettable.

Exclusivity and Privacy – Forget crowded spas or shared amenities. Your private deck is your personal oasis, offering peace and seclusion.

Fresh and Clean, Every Time – Hygiene and guest comfort are our top priorities. Each hot tub is drained, cleaned, and refilled before your arrival, ensuring a pristine and refreshing soak every time.

Year-Round Comfort – Whether it’s a snowy winter evening or a balmy summer night, your hot tub is heated to the perfect temperature for relaxation in any season.

Perfect for Every Occasion – A romantic getaway, a post-adventure wind-down, or just an indulgence because you deserve it—no matter the reason, your private hot tub takes your experience to the next level.

Breathtaking Views – Set against the stunning Swaner Nature Preserve or framed by the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains, the scenery from your deck is as rejuvenating as the soak itself.

And don’t just take our word for it—guests love this experience.

Top 10 Things to Do in Park City in April

Posted on by Tristan Barta

Experience Park City in April with fewer crowds, unbeatable off-season deals, and the unique charm of transitioning from winter to spring, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, relaxation, or a quiet mountain escape, this season has something to offer. Here’s a guide to the best things to do in Park City during mud season.

1. Spring Skiing & Closing Day Celebrations

Take advantage of some of the best spring skiing conditions before the resorts close for the season. Warmer temperatures mean softer snow (corn snow), sunny bluebird days, and the chance to ski in lighter gear without the chill of winter. Fewer crowds mean shorter lift lines and more space to carve your turns. On April 12th, Park City Mountain Resort will host its annual pond skimming competitions where skiers and snowboarders don colorful costumes to glide across a pool of water, accompanied by live music and themed après-ski parties. Then, on April 21st, they’ll wrap up the 24/25 season. This year, Deer Valley closes just a day earlier, on April 20th. Warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and fun end-of-season celebrations make this a unique time to hit the slopes.

2. Enjoy Après-Ski Without the Crowds

The après-ski scene continues even as the slopes begin to quiet down, offering a more relaxed and intimate setting. Park City’s après-ski scene remains vibrant, offering cozy fireside lounges, handcrafted cocktails, and gourmet small plates in a more relaxed and intimate setting, perfect for savoring the ambiance without the crowds. Sip a whiskey flight at High West Distillery or savor an artisan charcuterie board at The Spur Bar & Grill. With fewer crowds, it’s the perfect time to take in the ambiance of Main Street’s legendary après-ski scene at your own pace. Enjoy cozy bars and restaurants on Main Street, where you can sip craft cocktails or local brews by a roaring fire without the winter-season crowds.

3. Experience Park City for Less

April ushers in Park City’s “mud season,” a tranquil period marked by the closure of ski resorts in mid-April and the emergence of spring, offering visitors a chance to enjoy the area at significantly lower costs. With fewer travelers, Park City lodging is the least expensive of the year. Visitors and corporate event planners take advantage of these savings on everything from standard hotel rooms to luxury suites. In addition, many Park City restaurants offer special spring promotions, including prix fixe menus, discounted dining experiences, and seasonal dishes. As fashion season turns over, outlet malls and resort shops often offer deep discounts on last season’s styles. Locals and savvy travelers know that April is the ideal month to experience Park City for less.

4. Relax in a Private Balcony Hot Tub

With fewer people in town, it’s the perfect time to unwind in a private balcony hot tub at Newpark Resort. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation experience by soaking in a steaming hot tub on your private balcony, surrounded by breathtaking views of snow-dusted peaks, the serene Swaner Preserve, or a vibrant sunset over the Wasatch Mountains. The crisp mountain air combined with the warmth of the water creates the ultimate relaxation experience. Whether you’re recovering from a long day on the slopes, unwinding after a bike ride, or simply savoring a peaceful moment, a private balcony hot tub is a luxury worth indulging in during Park City’s mud season. Enjoy the crisp mountain air, scenic views, and peaceful surroundings without the usual high-season hustle and bustle.

5. Pamper Yourself at a Spa or Wellness Retreat

Treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa experience with off-season specials, choosing from a range of treatments like massages, IV therapy, float therapy, or infrared sauna sessions, all designed to help you relax and recharge. The quieter season makes it easier to book appointments at top spas and wellness centers, offering the perfect way to relax and recharge. Our indoor/outdoor pool is also available and ready for you, whatever the weather.

6. Explore the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter

As winter recedes and spring arrives, migratory birds return, and wildlife becomes more active at Swaner Preserve. Embark on a guided nature walk, explore the EcoCenter, or engage in birdwatching as the Swaner Preserve’s wetlands transform with the arrival of spring, attracting migratory birds and wildlife.

7. Do the Gondola Art Stroll

Explore Park City’s vibrant art scene in a unique way with the Gondola Art Stroll at Canyons Village. Enjoy a complimentary, self-guided Gondola Art Stroll at Gondola Art Stroll – Canyons Resort Village Management Association, featuring a scenic gondola ride that showcases an impressive collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures and installations set against Park City’s stunning mountain backdrop. The curated exhibit features works by both local and national artists, seamlessly blending contemporary art with Park City’s breathtaking mountain backdrop. It’s the perfect way to appreciate creativity while soaking in the fresh spring air and stunning alpine views.

8. Attend a Spring Festival or Farmers Market

Spring brings unique local events, art walks, and the first seasonal farmers’ markets. Experience the charm of Park City’s spring festivals and farmers markets, featuring live music performances, pop-up artisan markets, and quaint small-town gatherings that add to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

9. Hop on a Bike

With snow melting on the mountains and the first signs of spring emerging, it’s a perfect time to explore Kimball Junction and Park City on two wheels. Newpark Resort guests can conveniently rent cruiser bikes, allowing them to explore Kimball Junction and Park City at a leisurely pace, taking in the fresh spring air and breathtaking views. In fact, the 224 Connector and Swaner Ecopreserve Trail sits on the east edge of Newpark Town Center and connects with 40+ miles of paved paths for cyclists.

10. Just Stay In and Relax

Sometimes, the best way to experience Park City in April is to slow down and enjoy the serenity. Indulge in the luxury of Newpark Resort, where you can enjoy home-cooked meals, unwind by the fireplace, soak in your private balcony hot tub, and savor the stunning mountain views from the comfort of your suite, all while staying close to convenient amenities like nearby grocery stores.

Whether you’re hitting the slopes for one last run, unwinding in a spa, or exploring scenic trails, April in Park City offers a unique and peaceful retreat.

Date of Stay: April 2018
We stayed at Newpark Resort in April 2018 and had a WONDERFUL time!! The suite we stayed in was spacious, clean, and so accommodating… The bathroom was HUGE with double sinks, a huge standing shower, and one of the nicest/biggest tubs we’ve ever used. The front room had a couch as well as a complete mini kitchen, including a full set of dishes and pans, microwave/convection oven, full sized fridge w/ freezer, Keurig (with complimentary coffee pods), dishwasher, and sink... The private deck was spacious and included a private hot tub which we loved. We… had a wonderful view of the Utah State nature preserve and all of the beautiful birds flying through it. The hotel is situated nicely in a large shopping district… We were able to go to the store and get food for the weekend, and then stayed inside our room the entire weekend watching movies, soaking in the hot tub, and taking naps. We couldn’t have imagined a better place for our staycation. It was absolutely the MOST relaxing weekend we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to go back again.

Spring Creek Trailhead reopens

This trailhead serves as a gateway to the Glenwild Loop, a renowned trail system celebrated for its diverse terrain and picturesque vistas.

Exploring the Glenwild Loop
