Rockport State Park

Rockport State Park is located near Peoa, UT. The trail is primarily used for birding and is accessible from March until November. Rockport has good camping and swimming and is only a short drive from the SLC area. The water was great and even though it was the middle of June it wasn't too crowded. The hiking trail was easy except for the fact that it was almost 90 degrees.

Glenwild Loop

glenwilde loop is a 3.5 mile trail located near Park City, UT. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

It is great in the winter because it is exposed and sunny

Iron Canyon Trail

Iron Canyon Trail is a 2.2 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Park City, UT that features a great forest setting and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and nature trips and is accessible from May until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Really nice trail located in Park City. Nice view of the Canyons. Nice Aspen and Pine to walk through. A little steep in some places but a great day hike

Nice short hike to a pretty view of Park City. Microspikes would have been helpful, but totally doable in trail shoes. The trail does split once you get to the viewpoint, so it would be nice to check out the rest of the trail.

just got done, trail head not marked. can't park right by it had to park on iron mountain drive. trail head top of iron mountain ctr between the two no parking signs. great hidden gem for sure.

This was a great little hike. It's 30 minutes to the overlook and the. 25 minutes down. Total time will be 60 minutes depending on how long you stay at the overlook. There is a great view of park city and surrounding area (see pics). There are no water features on this hike but most of the hike is in the shade due to trees.

Johns Trail

Johns Trail is a 1.8 mile lightly trafficked point-to-point trail located near Park City, UT that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking and is accessible from June until October.

One of the great Park City Mountain Resort trails. It can be accessed by lift
service from PayDay or by riding up King Road or Sweeney's singletrack. This trail is primarily used for mountain biking and is rated advanced as such. As a hiking trail, this is fairly easy.

Primarily used as a mountain biking trail. From the top of the Town Lift, head uphill for just a tiny bit, then begin a twisty, tight, non-stop descent that feels like you're in deep forest the whole time. The trail is all singletrack, with roots, narrow tree openings, and tight turns, but it's not really very difficult. With all these challenges, and so many switchbacks across the fall line, you go quite slow - you never really get any speed and the trail's 1.7 miles takes a long time

Corvair

Corvair is a 1.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Park City, UT that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking and is accessible from June until October.

Great mountain biking trail recently built by Deer Valley stretching between the top of Empire Pass and  the Mid-Mountain trail just above the Empire Lodge. This trail is mostly used as a downhill trail but many people enjoy the climb up as well.

Start near the top of Empire Pass and descend quickly through 460 feet of singletrack bliss. Corvair is not for the faint of heart. The trail includes steep pitches, big water bars, and aggressive turns. Short and sweet, Corvair dumps you out on the Mid Mountain Trail for which you can access more trails in Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort.

Ontario Trail (Jordanelle State Park)

Ontario Trail is a 4.9 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Park City, UT that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible from May until October.

It was a very nice hike. I parked @ the Log Hollow Parking area and did the loop "backwards". I am glad I did. The hike up was very nice with great views. The highlight was the meadow at the top. Make sure you look for the side trail that will take you over to the unmarked scenic over look, well worth it. The flowers were beautiful and all you could hear was the buzzing of the bees. The marked scenic overlook was stunning as well. The hike down on the opposite side of the loop was not as well marked. I did get off trail once, but about 5 minutes into it it was apparent that I was off trail. The guide book says 6 hours, I did the loop in 3.5 and I am not that fit.

Hikes at Park City Mountain Resort

Canyons Village at Park City offers some of the finest hiking trails in the Park City area. Take a scenic gondola ride to access the Mid-Mountain Trail, and explore the many trails at Canyons on your own. The Red Pine Nature Trail and Lookout Ridge Trails are great for families or for hikers looking for shorter hikes with great views. The Tombstone Trail is a perfect escape on a hot summer day for those hikers seeking solitude and a moderate excursion. The Condor Trail is recommended for those looking for a longer more strenuous hike, but not overly technical. The Fantasy Ridge Trail is for advanced trekkers looking to reach the highest peak at Canyons Village and challenge themselves by crossing the knife edged Fantasy Ridge.

AMBUSH • Mixed Use • More Difficult
For hikers and bikers looking for a trail out of the base area, Ambush is the one. This trail is an easier climb than Holly’s. With 1,200’ of elevation gain, Ambush departs from the base area via the service road, climbs towards the Super Condor Express lift, and meanders through some switchbacks until meeting up with Short Swing or continuing ahead to the Mid Mountain trail. Rosebud’s Heaven and Rob’s are also accessible via Ambush.

SHORT SWING • Mixed Use • More Difficult
This connector trail is perfect for those looking to meet up with either Holly’s or Ambush. Short Swing takes you through a beautiful section of the resort in between the Super Condor Express and Sun Peak Express lifts. For those aiming to do a short loop, try taking Ambush from the base area over to Short Swing and then back down Holly’s.

MID MOUNTAIN • Mixed Use • More Difficult
The Mid Mountain trail meanders through Canyons at an approximate elevation of 8,000’. This is a multi-use trail; please be aware that hikers, mountain bikers and horses could be on the trail at anytime. Please be aware of your location as you leave the boundaries of Canyons. The approximate length of this trail to the resort boundary on the south is 4 miles and the length to the resort boundary on the north is 4 miles.

IRON MAN • Mixed Use • More Difficult
One of the resort’s newest additions, this trail is accessible via the Mid Mountain trail and meanders across Iron Mountain offering scenic views of both Canyons Resort and the town of Park City.

GOLDFINGER • Mixed Use • More Difficult
Accessible from either Iron Man or Mid Mountain, this new trail is full of switchbacks and is best enjoyed from the south to the north. Goldfinger can be utilized as part of a loop from Red Pine Lodge as you start out on Mid Mountain, turn onto Iron Man, head down Goldfinger and then return back on Mid Mountain.

HOLLY'S • Mixed Use • Very Difficult
This trail brings hikers and bikers to and from Red Pine Lodge via the base area and the bottom of Red Pine Gondola. Although the trail can be used in either direction, down is preferred (especially for bikers). This trail drops 900’ in approximately 4 miles. Leave Red Pine Lodge on the Mid Mountain trail and head over to Lookout Peak. From there, follow Holly’s to the base area.

WASATCH RIDGE CREST CONNECTOR • Mixed Use • Very Difficult
Accessed from the Mid Mountain trail, this is a difficult climb that gains access to the Wasatch Crest trail and upper Mill Creek Canyon. In the shade all day, this trail is the perfect escape from the mid-day heat.

***Midmountain Trail is a 28.6 mile out and back trail located near Park City, UT. The trail is rated as difficult and primarily used for hiking and mountain biking. ---- We did this with a 1 year old and 4 year old. We did about 3.5 miles of it and started at the top of the Silver Lake Express lift and hiked down to the Amphitheater. Beautiful view of Jordanelle Reservoir. There was some shade and it was an easy trail. We loved this hike!
***my favorite is just about anywhere on Mid Mountain Trail. But the brand-new stretch from Silver Lake Village at Deer Valley to Park City Mountain Resort is really a showstopper! It is at 8,000 feet elevation yet almost level. It’s spectacularly beautiful with enchanted forests, stands of glimmering aspen and panoramic scenic vistas and scenery that change constantly. The ability to easily access the trail at Silver Lake Village without a “Stairmaster” uphill experience and the option to ride the Town Lift down to Old Town makes this a do-able trail for just about everyone.”
***the Mid Mountain Trail from Red Pine Lodge at The Canyons Resort to Ambush Junction. There are many options for this hike, she says. If you are looking for a long power-hike, scramble up Holly’s (Lookout Trail) and tie into the Mid Mountain Trail near Lookout Lodge. If you are not up for such a long excursion, hikers and trail runners can take The Canyons gondola to Red Pine Lodge and jump on the Mid Mountain Trail from there. Beyer suggests hiking north toward Pinebrook. Then, if you’re inclined, take the well-signed Ridge Connector Trail into Millcreek Canyon. (Hikers are better off hiking into Millcreek on odd-numbered days to avoid cyclists coming off the Wasatch Crest Trail). If you are looking to stay in the vicinity, hike further north on the Mid Mountain Trail to the junction of Ambush Trail and the Sun Peak Connector. You then have the option of either hiking to Pinebrook on the Mid Mountain Trail (recommended as an out-and-back), or out Sun Peak. Both of these options are long hikes, so be prepared. Beyer says that these trails are all charted on the annually updated Mountain Trails Foundation Trail Map.
***“I would say my favorite hike is at Park City Mountain Resort—the old historic Crescent Mine Grade.” Silver explained that the trail’s original use was for a narrow gage railroad. To get to the trail, hike up the main drainage (Home Run for skiers) from the resort’s base for about a half mile. Turn right at the junction. The trail is marked with a sign. It’s about a three-mile hike to Thaynes Road, intersecting several trail options along the way. Follow the trail past Thaynes Mine and the California Comstock Mine building, the historic route to two mines. Silver says that since all trails are well-used by mountain bikers, he particularly likes this trail because it is wide enough for bikers and hikers to pass one another with little interference. He says it also offers splendid views of Park City.
***“My favorite trail is the Mid Mountain Trail from Ambush Trail in The Canyons over to Pinebrook because it affords some of the most phenomenal views, variation in vegetation and thick trees and north faces with old growth. It also affords variation in the type of trail in climbing and dropping and tight twisties, turns and rock outcrops.” Access Mid Mountain Trail by either The Canyons gondola or Holly’s (Lookout Trail). The trailhead is not far from The Canyons base. A service road beginning near The Canyons Resort Drive eventually turns into Boa Ski Run, which intersects with Ambush Trail.

Spiro trail

Park City Mountain’s Spiro Trail A challenging three-mile uphill hike that puts a Stairmaster to shame. It starts with a rocky incline heading to the Mid Mountain bike trail, where the views of the basin and surrounding peaks make the trek well worth the effort.

Take a load off at the Silver Star Market & Café next to the Silver Star lift at the old Spiro mine; sit outside with a cold drink and enjoy the artisan pizza and sandwiches.

The Canyons Tombstone Trail

(Park City)The Canyons’ Tombstone Trail

A more difficult hike. You start with a scenic gondola ride ($15) up to Red Pine Lodge, where the 1.6-mile trail to the Tombstone lift begins. Once you reach the top, the view of the DreamScape basin is breathtaking—if you’ve got any breath left after the ascent.

You’ve earned a gourmet lunch at the Red Pine Café next to the gondola, with options that include an award-winning ahi tuna roll or Kobe beef burger.

Spring Creek's Stealth and Blackhawk trails

Spring Creek’s Stealth and Blackhawk Trails (Park City)

 This moderate loop (approximately six miles) swims in sunshine along the switchbacks on the Glenwild hillside. It showcases expansive views of Kimball Junction and the I-80 valley.

 Afterward, keep walking over to Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery in Newpark via the paved underpass a stone’s throw from the trailhead. You’ve exercised, so it’s OK to order the storied Fat Kids pizza!

Farm trail (Park City)

Park City’s Farm Trail

This easy paved trail behind Park City’s famous McPolin/Osguthorpe Barn along Highway 224 is well suited for the whole family. Meander as far as you like on this several-mile stretch.

Sultan trail

Deer Valley (Park City)

6 mi RT

The Sultan Out and Back hiking trail shares it’s beginning with the Nabob Loop, but then continues on to the east, out past the Sultan Express chairlift. Traversing through trees, and across ski runs, this hike leads to a scenic deck that is perfect for picnicking. It’s around 6 miles roundtrip, starting at around 8,100 feet of elevation and dipping down to around 7,800 feet at the deck.

Nabob Loop

Deer Valley (Park City)

1 mi easy

 the Nabob Loop is a about a mile long with just a bit over 100 feet of elevation gain, and it’s a great Deer Valley hike for all levels. From Silver Lake Village, head out toward the Sterling Express chairlift. If you’re standing below the lift, looking up at it, the Nabob Loop starts over a ways to your left, slightly downhill from the start of the Silver Lake trail, and continues through a beautiful alpine forest. This is what I call a giggle hike; just fun and easy.

Silver Lake Trail (Deer Valley)

Park City

The Silver Lake Trail takes hikers over a steep and diverse trail with clear views of the valley below.
This trail takes hikers through aspens and pine trees, offering shade, but as it crosses over ski runs, the view opens up for panoramic views of Jordanelle and the surrounding foliage as it changes colors.

The hike begins just off the ski lift at the Silver Lake Lodge in Deer Valley. The trailhead that heads right into the trees is clearly marked with a square white sign. The trail is easy to follow for the most part, though just past the halfway mark, the trail meets a dirt service road. Continue left on the road and follow it until it meets up with the trail, which is marked.
Once hikers get off the road and back onto the trail, the shade ends, but the views make up for the loss.

Hike Info:
Distance: 2.25 miles one way
Duration: 2-3 hours
Difficulty: Moderate (strenuous up, easy down)
Elevation Gain: 1,300
The trail winds around the mountain, taking hikers to the top, where several lifts stand. Deer Valley offers complimentary lift rides back down to the trailhead on the Sterling Express during the summer season. Fall hikers will have to head back the way they came, which is not as well-marked coming from the top and intersects with the Ontario Canyon Trail.

Visitors can park at the Silver Lake Village.
