Deer Valley

Hiking the trails at Deer Valley offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy stunning views and stay active. However, if you incorporate a chairlift ride at the resort into your hike, you enhance the experience and make the most of your time in the mountains.

Park Meadows

Several trailheads are located around the edges of Park Meadows, offering scenic hikes, including the steep but picturesque ascent up PC Hill and the lovely, less demanding Cove trail, which leads to Round Valley, a designated off-leash area for dogs. During winter, these trails can be explored with snowshoes or nordic skis, but regular shoes with good traction will do when the snow is packed down. A paved trail also borders park Meadows on the east side along a stream where moose and deer often visit. If you travel south along this trail, you will reach a playground called Creekside Park.

Like many other neighborhoods in Park City, the trails linking Silver Springs to the parks also lead to other communities and trails, including Kimball Junction and the lengthy, paved McCloud Creek Trail, which goes all the way into Old Town for those who are up for the challenge.
