Day 1

“A perfect day in Park City begins with an iced oat milk latte at The Kitz at Goldener Hirsch, followed by a summer hike up Bald Mountain, just steps away.”
  • Morning | Coffee at The Kitz

    Fuel up for the day’s adventures and be sure to try one of the scones – there is a savory and a sweet option. You can’t go wrong either way.

  • Afternoon | Hike Through the Wasatch Mountains

    Get your cameras ready; Park City’s hundreds of miles of hiking trails are abounding with photogenic views.

  • Dinner | Chimayo

    Grabbing dinner at Chimayo in Deer Valley is like stepping into a cozy Southwestern dream – warm vibes, bold flavors and the kind of meal you’ll be thinking about long after the last bite.

Day 2

“Whenever I am in town, I always love to stroll Main Street, where I peruse the racks at Cake Boutique. No trip to Park City is complete without an authentic cowboy hat, which you can personalize at Kemo Sabe.”
  • Morning | Water Wander

    Bask in the sunshine, feel the wind in your hair and soak up the beauty of the Jordanelle Reservoir. Unwind on a pontoon boat, kayak or paddleboard and explore the scenic shoreline.

  • Afternoon | Curated Fashion

    Start at Cake Boutique, where effortlessly chic fashion meets mountain charm – think dreamy fabrics, curated accessories and that one piece you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without. Then, head over to Kemo Sabe for the ultimate statement piece: a custom hat. From hand-branded designs to unique embellishments, it’s all about making it yours. 

  • Evening | Cocktails at the Goldener Hirsch Antler Lounge

    Pull up a chair by the fire – you’ll want to linger late into the evening.

Day 3

“For dinner, I always recommend Chimayo, a Southwestern-inspired restaurant with authentic architecture. You must try the duck enchiladas!”
  • Morning | Mountaintop Yoga or Sound Bath 

    Start your morning with pure alpine serenity – whether it’s a rejuvenating mountaintop yoga session or a soul-soothing sound bath, you’ll feel instantly refreshed.

  • Midday | Rooftop Pool

    Take in the scenic mountain views as you savor a poolside lunch.

  • Afternoon | Caputo’s x Goldener Hirsch: Epic Rides & Exquisite Bites

    An epic combo of thrilling rides and indulgent bites – because adventure tastes even better with a side of gourmet snacks from Caputo’s Market, a local fave.
