Hiking

Northern Utah is a hiker's paradise, so relax and let us take care of the details. The hardest decision you'll have is choosing between our local, Uinta, or Sundance hikes. Summer hikes are recommended during the cooler parts of the day as Park City always seems to have hot, sunny afternoons. Fall hikes see more mild temperatures, with cool and crisp mornings that warm to comfortable afternoons.

Local Hike

We have a variety of trails in the mountains above town we would love to show you. The drive time to the trailhead is typically very short, averaging 10 minutes each direction. You can expect to be on the trail for 2 to 2.5 hours with a knowledgeable guide. We typically pick up our local hikes at 9:00am or after lunch at 1:30pm.

Stewart Falls Hike

Visit a towering waterfall and walk through wildflower covered hillsides with us! After a scenic 45 minute drive we arrive at Sundance Resort. The adventure begins with a chair lift ride. After gaining elevation we unload and begin the three mile hike to impressive Stewart Falls. Stewart Falls drops almost 200 feet in two tiers. While this hike is mostly level to downhill there is a steeper section to reach the falls, we recommend sturdy footwear. We offer this excursion daily at 10am.

Uinta Hike

The Uinta Mountains host Utah’s highest peaks with 21 lofty mountains reaching 13,000 feet in elevation. Mirror Lake Highway, closed over half the year due to deep snow, has plenty of day hikes that are sure to please. The Uintas have hundreds of alpine lakes, wildlife, and provide more of a wilderness feel than our local hike. Hikes begin at 9:00am daily, and after about 45 minutes of driving, you will be at the trailhead. Hiking time can vary depending of which trail you’re on, but expect the trip five hours to complete, making for a four to five hour excursion. Although we can offer an afternoon outing, there is a high probability of thunderstorms.

Park City Lift Served Hike

Ride the same chair lift you did in January but find out what's under all that snow! Enjoy 1.5 hours of hiking and a relaxing ride up higher into the mountains. We can even arrange to take a thrilling ride back down the mountain on the PCMR alpine slide. This beautiful hike is offered daily starting at 9:00am or at 1:30pm.

Birding Tours

Enjoy a  local or Uinta hike while seeking  the amazing birds that call Utah home, and other various migrating species.  Some of the unique birds to the region that could potentially be found are Gray Jay, Western Tanager, Pine Grosbeak, Stellar Jay, Ruffed and Dusky Grouse, American Three-toed Woodpecker, Mountain Chickadee, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Red Crossbill, Northern Goshawk, Swainson's and Red-tailed Hawks and even the seasonal Flammulated Owl.  Tours pick up either 30 minutes before sunrise for the morning option, or  around 5 - 5:30pm depending on your destination for the evening option.

Tours will include head lamps if needed, binoculars, field book, and everything else included in a hike. Custom options available, seeking out a specific bird?  Give us a call. For more information check out our blog.
