Long before Park City became a world class mountain resort and venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, it was famous as a silver mining town, and boasts a lively and colorful past. Founded by prospectors in the late 1860's, Park City continued to mine silver until the early 1970's. The mining company, Park City Consolidated Mines, started the ski business in 1963, when they built the first lifts on what was then called Treasure Mountain.

  Park City, Utah is famous for three world-class ski and summer resorts: Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley, and The Canyons. Nearby hip restaurants and historic Main Street combine with excellent Park City lodging to create the perfect destination. Home to the Utah Olympic Park, Park City hosted several of the 2002 Games. Nearby Heber, Utah, is also home to Olympic glory. Soldier Hollow – the cross-country ski and biathlon venue for the Olympics, remains open to visitors. Warm weather ushers in excellent golf in both cities.
