Park City, Utah is a charming perfect destination for travelers who enjoy luxury dining, 5-star hotel accommodations, and a plethora of outdoor activities.
Park City is located in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah a short 30 minute drive from Salt Lake City Airport (SLC) and is traditionally known for it’s world-class ski resorts and being a travelers favorite destination to visit in the winter.
But Park City is also a great destination to visit September through November, as the autumn season is usually an extension of summer with warm daytime temperatures and cooler evenings but with a pop of electrifying fall colors.
Park City is known for its scenic views, and October is the perfect time to enjoy them. The fall foliage is at its peak during this time, and the colors are breathtaking. You can take a scenic drive through the mountains or go on a hike to enjoy the views. The city also has many state parks where you can relax and enjoy the scenery.
