Park City, Utah has long been a tourist destination for Winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding. It is also known for the Sundance Film Festival, which draws in thousands of celebrities into the quaint mountain town every winter.

However, did you know that Park City has so much to offer in the summer months as well? With evo Conference just over 1 month away, you are likely trying to plan your days and nights to squeeze in everything the conference and local area has to offer.  Consider me your own personal tour guide as I give you a preview of the 5 Must-See Summer Attractions in Park City, Utah:
