Canyons Resort Activities and Amenities
When the temperature rises in the city, what could be better then escaping into the fresh mountain air and enjoying everything Canyons Resort has to offer for the summer traveler? Summer activities open on June 18th and that is when Utah’s largest ski and snowboard resort, covering over 3700 acres, sheds its layers of snow to expose some of the most spectacular mountain bike trails, hiking paths and a disc golf course.
Fitness
The Health Club has phenomenal classes to get your heart pumping and tone your muscles. Bikini Boot Camp, Water Zumba, Yoga, and Pilates classes are all offered and a schedule can be found on line.
Restaurants
With the experienced team at the Talisker Restaurant Collection behind all of Canyons restaurants, guests this summer can enjoy the high standards of-mountain cuisine they came to expect during the winter. Restaurants open for the summer season include The Farm for locally sourced seasonal cuisine, The Restaurant at Waldorf Astoria Park City for fine dining in the tradition of the iconic hotel brand, and Red Pine Cafe for a classic American menu. Sister Restaurant Talisker on Main in downtown Park City offers a “taste of Talisker” through cuisine and unrivaled service. Visit First Tracks Café in the Grand Summit for something a little quicker or on-the-go.
Spa
If you’re staying near the hotel and resort village area, there is never a shortage of activities to be found. One of the best ways to occupy your day is to spend some quality time in the Grand Summit Spa. Facials, manicures, pedicures or hot stone massages are all lovely distractions from everyday life.

July 4th Celebrations
Canyons Resort boasts Park City’s ONLY July 3rd celebration, and is located conveniently right outside your hotel door. The party starts with a concert by Soulistics, a local 10 piece band covering the best of funk, R&B, and soul tunes with a little bit of Motown thrown in. Following the concert at 9:30pm is an amazing firework show! This celebration is family friendly and free to the public, as well as one of the best celebrations in Park City. More information can be found online at Canyons Resort’s Event Page.
On July 4th, Park City is the place to be. Up in Old Town, the celebrations begin with a pancake breakfast at 7am, followed by the Park City Ski Team 5k Fun Run (registration required). At 11am, the famous 4th of July Parade with over 70 floats celebrating Park City’s history runs down Main Street and around the Old Town area. Following the parade, head to City Park to enjoy food, live music, vendors, and games for the rest of the afternoon! Fireworks will take off from Park City Mountain Resort at dusk. Park City offers an extensive and free bus system that will take you from Canyons Resort into town to enjoy the festivities. Click here for more information.
