A local tip
Park City gets busy—especially during ski season and summer weekends. If there’s a spot you’re excited about, plan ahead by checking to see if they take reservations. For the places that do not accept reservations, be sure to account for the extra wait time to avoid any battles with the hanger monster. And when in doubt, ask a local. The best recommendations often come with a story or an unexpected turn of plans.
