While you watched the Sale Lake City Olympic games in 2002, you were actually watching the Park City Olympics. It is near Salt Lake City, and has long been a mountain ski resort, so it only made sense that most of the games’ events would be held there. Still, it seems the city should have gotten top billing, right? At any rate, even before the Olympics came to town, there were already plenty of cheap hotels in Park City.
Many people vactioning in this area plan to stay long enough that instead of staying in one of the cheap hotels in Park City, they opt for a condo or apartment rental near the ski slopes. Because of this, you may see more places advertising vacation rentals than straight-up hotel rooms. But if you are only staying for a few days, or if you just do not want to deal with the hassle of renting an entire condo, a hotel room is enough – and there are still hotels in the city.
The obvious attraction in Park City is the snow and the winter sports, but that is just half the year. During the warmer months, the same terrain plays host to any number of summer sports – including hiking, mountain biking, and golf. The primary pursuit of people who spend time in Park City, regardless of the time of year, is the outdoors. Well, that and the nice shopping and dining opportunities!
