Park City, Utah:

We are not really a ski family...but we do enjoy the mountains in the summer. I was amazed during our trip to Park City (ski resort) in August, how many activities were available. We stayed at the Canyons Resort, and while Bren golfed in his tournament...the boys and I hiked in Park City and Deer Valley. The views are breathtaking...starting with the ski lifts and hiking down and around. There was mountain biking, horseback, riding, and a down hill luge that we all had a thrill doing. I can't believe I took my 4 year old, Trip, on that with me, with no straps or anything...eek. The older boys also did a zip line...
