Historic Park City is nestled in a charming Utah valley flanked by Park City Mountain Resort on one side, and Deer Valley  Resort on the other.  This historic mining town serves as the modern-day center of all that is fun, beautiful, traditional, and adventurous. Since silver was first discovered in these hills, there have been countless moments of booms, busts, fires, and freezes, and the town's adventurous spirit perseveres. On and among these historic hills, are droves and droves of open space, treasured sanctuaries, mining claims, and epic stories. More than 300 mines once operated in Park City, with the last silver mine closing in 1982. Twenty historic mine structures still exist today, many can been seen while skiing, hiking or mountain biking the trails.
