Park City Downtown provides a diverse array of art galleries, shops, restaurants, and lodging options. Cyclist fans will not only enjoy the large trail network, they can also enjoy the arrival of the Tour of Utah in Park City – a road cycling race across Utah – which takes place since the year 2000. Hopefully the race will return in 2023. The race was cancelled three years in a row due to COVID-19.
