Hiking around Park City

Since David had flight delays, he arrived (stand by) in the morning after spending the night in Houston.  We decided on an easier day of hiking, buying a lift pass for Park City and taking it to the top of the mountain.

We decided to start at the top of the Crescent Lift.

We hiked up the access road to the peak you can see in middle of the picture.  There were 3 more lifts that went to that peak (not running in the summer).

 Fun monster sculpture on the ski run.

 We managed to get on a seat on one of the lifts that were not running and just enjoyed the view.

Amusing or ew?

Looking back down the access road at the top of the lift we rode up.

After hiking in Park City, we went over to the Canyons resort and used our lift pass to take the gondola to the top of the mountain.  You get a sense of how high the canyon is that the gondola runs over.   This resort was the "play ground" for the very serious dirt bikers.  They had professional helmets on and came flying off the mountain on their off road bikes. 

We found a short "nature trail" loop and enjoyed some time by a stream.
