While primarily known for sports, the park also offers a glimpse into the region’s Olympic legacy from the 2002 Winter Games.

As you plan your trip to this vibrant mountain town, consider immersing yourself in the hub of all the action by staying at Newpark Resort, where luxury meets convenience and offers a suite of amenities that cater to every type of traveler.

June - The Gateway to Summer Fun

Kick off your summer with the hiking trails opening as Park City’s outdoor experiences turn from skiing to hiking. The trails open for hiking and biking, and the area becomes a playground for adventurers. The weather is perfect in June, with sunny highs in the lower 70s and lows in the mid-40s. Don’t worry about traveling with your gear or having to purchase items before you travel; Christy Sports has everything you need for hiking and outdoor activities. 

We have a suggestion for a casual daytime hike you can start with. The Armstrong trail, which is 3.3 miles long, is good for casual hiking and mountain biking. It’s a dog-friendly loop where you can enjoy shady golden aspen groves and sensational views of Park City when you’re coming back on the downhill side of the loop. When you complete the 3.3-mile loop, stop by Five5eeds for lunch. They offer dishes made with the finest local, seasonal produce.

After a day exploring the mountains, retreat to Newpark Resort, where the luxury deluxe suite, the two-bedroom suite, and townhouse options provide ample space for groups or families looking to unwind together. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare a meal with fresh produce from the Park City Farmers Market, a weekly event every Wednesday that showcases local artisans and farmers.

July - The Heart of Summer​

July in Park City is a time to celebrate. The 4th of July parade and fireworks are a must-see, drawing locals and visitors together for a day filled with patriotism and community spirit. Start with the Main Street Parade at 11 a.m. and then spend your afternoon exploring Kimball Junction’s Main Street. When the sun sets, that means it’s time for an extraordinary spectacle like never before. An innovative drone show is replacing traditional fireworks in Park City! 

In July, you can experience beautiful sunshine from sun rising to sunset, with highs in the lower 80s and lows around 50 degrees. If you’ve forgotten the sweater for the evenings or sun-safe clothing for the daytime, the Outlets Park City has all the clothing brands you’re already familiar with at great prices, from Columbia, Merrill, and Nike to Eddie Baur. 

Don’t miss the Park City Food and Wine Classic this month, an epicurean extravaganza that pairs beautifully with a stay at Newpark Resort. Enjoy hundreds of food artisans, wineries, breweries, distilleries, epicurean purveyors and local producers at the ultimate food and wine experience. With over twenty different events throughout the weekend, you can curate your own personalized festival.

August - Summer’s Grand Finale

As summer reaches its zenith, Park City becomes a hub for arts and culture. The Kimball Arts Festival, happening in early August, transforms Main Street into an outdoor gallery featuring hundreds of artists. Staying at Newpark Resort positions you just a short drive (or use convenient local shuttles or other transportation options) from this event, allowing for easy access to the festivities. Being outside in August may be uncomfortable in other areas of the United States, but in Kimball Junction, you’ll experience summer perfection with daytime highs in the low 80s and nighttime lows in the high 40s. 

For music lovers, the Deer Valley Music Festival presents an opportunity to enjoy concerts under the stars. Spread out your blankets and prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views while enjoying a world-class performance by the Utah Symphony, featuring renowned guest artists and conductors. Re-entry to performances is allowed with a handstamp and ticket, which means you can wander into Park City and enjoy any of the over 100 restaurants and bars; there is a dining option that will match your mood. 

Imagine returning to a Newpark Resort townhouse after a night of music. On your private patio, you and your friends can reminisce over the evening’s highlights. Just a seven-minute walk from the resort, you can grab some late-evening wine and light snacks from Smith’s.

Trail Tips for Every Season

Park City’s trails are a shared space for hikers, bikers, and equestrians, and following proper etiquette ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Stay on designated trails to protect the environment and avoid creating new paths. Always yield appropriately—bikers yield to hikers, and both yield to horses, while those going downhill should yield to those going uphill. Announce your presence when passing and keep pets leashed and under control. Pack out all trash, including pet waste, and respect wildlife by keeping a safe distance. Be mindful of trail conditions, avoiding use when muddy to prevent damage. By following these guidelines, all users can help preserve and enjoy Park City’s extensive trail system.

Here are some more useful tips to make your hike a pleasure for you and everyone also on the trails. 

Check Conditions: Trails change with the seasons! Visit Mountain Trails Foundation or Swaner Preserve for updates.

Dress in Layers: Mountain weather can shift quickly—bring layers, even in summer.

Respect Wildlife & Nature: Keep the trails clean and give wildlife space.

Know Your Trail Etiquette: Mountain bikers yield to hikers; everyone yields to horses.

Hydrate & Snack Smart: High-altitude adventures require extra water and fuel.

Summer Magic in Park City

Summertime in Park City and Kimball Junction is nothing short of magical, with idyllic weather ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s, making it the perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts and event-goers alike. As you plan your trip to this vibrant mountain town, consider immersing yourself in the hub of all the action by staying at Newpark Resort, where luxury meets convenience and offers a suite of amenities that cater to every type of traveler.

June – The Gateway to Summer Fun

Kick off your summer with the hiking trails opening as Park City’s outdoor experiences turn from skiing to hiking. The trails open for hiking and biking, and the area becomes a playground for adventurers. The weather is perfect in June, with sunny highs in the lower 70s and lows in the mid-40s. Don’t worry about traveling with your gear or having to purchase items before you travel; Christy Sports has everything you need for hiking and outdoor activities. 

We have a suggestion for a casual daytime hike you can start with. The Armstrong trail, which is 3.3 miles long, is good for casual hiking and mountain biking. It’s a dog-friendly loop where you can enjoy shady golden aspen groves and sensational views of Park City when you’re coming back on the downhill side of the loop. When you complete the 3.3-mile loop, stop by Five5eeds for lunch. They offer dishes made with the finest local, seasonal produce.

After a day exploring the mountains, retreat to Newpark Resort, where the luxury deluxe suite, the two-bedroom suite, and townhouse options provide ample space for groups or families looking to unwind together. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare a meal with fresh produce from the Park City Farmers Market, a weekly event every Wednesday that showcases local artisans and farmers.

July – The Heart of Summer

July in Park City is a time to celebrate. The 4th of July parade and fireworks are a must-see, drawing locals and visitors together for a day filled with patriotism and community spirit. Start with the Main Street Parade at 11 a.m. and then spend your afternoon exploring Kimball Junction’s Main Street. When the sun sets, that means it’s time for an extraordinary spectacle like never before. An innovative drone show is replacing traditional fireworks in Park City! 

In July, you can experience beautiful sunshine from sun rising to sunset, with highs in the lower 80s and lows around 50 degrees. If you’ve forgotten the sweater for the evenings or sun-safe clothing for the daytime, the Outlets Park City has all the clothing brands you’re already familiar with at great prices, from Columbia, Merrill, and Nike to Eddie Baur. 

Don’t miss the Park City Food and Wine Classic this month, an epicurean extravaganza that pairs beautifully with a stay at Newpark Resort. Enjoy hundreds of food artisans, wineries, breweries, distilleries, epicurean purveyors, and local producers at the ultimate food and wine experience.

August – Summer’s Grand Finale

As summer reaches its zenith, Park City becomes a hub for arts and culture. The Kimball Arts Festival, happening in early August, transforms Main Street into an outdoor gallery featuring hundreds of artists. Staying at Newpark Resort positions you just a short drive (or use convenient local shuttles or other transportation options) from this event, allowing for easy access to the festivities. Being outside in August may be uncomfortable in other areas of the United States, but in Kimball Junction, you’ll experience summer perfection with daytime highs in the low 80s and nighttime lows in the high 40s. 

For music lovers, the Deer Valley Music Festival presents an opportunity to enjoy concerts under the stars. Spread out your blankets and prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views while enjoying a world-class performance by the Utah Symphony, featuring renowned guest artists and conductors.

Re-entry to performances is allowed with a handstamp and ticket, which means you can wander into Park City and enjoy any of the over 100 restaurants and bars; there is a dining option that will match your mood. 

Imagine returning to a Newpark Resort townhouse after a night of music. On your private patio, you and your friends can reminisce over the evening’s highlights. Just a seven-minute walk from the resort, you can grab some late-evening wine and light snacks from Smith’s. 

Between Events – Newpark’s Array of Amenities

5-Year Celebration of E-Bike Share

Posted on by Riester Admin

Newport Resort is excited to celebrate the fifth year of fewer cars on the road and cleaner air in the sky. In July 2017, Park City, Utah, launched Summit Bike Share, the country’s first fully-electric bike-share program. Today, visitors and residents are adopting this fun and accessible way to experience the beauty of Park City.

A Cleaner Way to Ride

Summit Bike Share began with a simple mission: solve regional issues with a regional solution. This e-bike sharing program lets visitors and residents lower their carbon footprint and reduce air pollution while running errands, commuting to work, or exploring the beauty of our town.

The program is simple. Just download the app on Android or iPhone, choose a membership, unlock your bike and go. Summit Bike Share has 20 e-bike stations around the city, including one at Newpark Resort, the highest capacity kiosk in the area. A single ride is $3.50, and an annual membership is $96.44 for residents and employees.

Just Start Pedaling

An electric bike may look like a regular bike, but it’s built for speed. Designed with a motor, battery, and controller, you can ride sweat-free around town all day. All of Summit Bike Share’s e-bikes have electric assist. This bike mode gives you the extra boost you may want (or need!) when you pedal through Park City’s hilly terrain.

Before your Park City trip ends, we recommend the 45-minute bike ride to the historic Main Street from Newpark Resort. Enjoy delicious dining options, great shopping, and excellent people-watching in the heart of Park City. Another guest favorite is the 25-minute ride to White Barn, also known as McPolin Farm, where you can enjoy plenty of photo opportunities.

Next time you visit Newpark Resort, we invite you to ditch the car and explore the beauty around you on two wheels. Text us to learn more about this exciting bike-share program and all of the other activities waiting for you in Park City.
