Long ago (in a galaxy far far away) when we first purchased in Park City a friend said “you will learn to love it in the summer as much as the winter!” A shake of the head was the response as the move here was for the skiing. HOWEVER, when the skiing stopped a move took us to Scottsdale – BUT, the summers are still spent in Park City. No where is the weather as nice – or the golfing as great AND cheap – in the summer than Park City. So – here we spend those three months+ and DO love it. Especially since we have found a townhouse to rent in the old neighborhood that suits us just fine.

PC also seems to be the summer escape of choice for many other couples in our Vi community. Therefore, the days are filled with old PC friends and new Vi friends all summer long – beginning with all the 4th of July celebrations. Fortunately for all of us, one Vi couple stays at their daughter’s in the Canyon Village where there is a wonderful celebration on the 3rd of July. Their deck provides a fantastic view of the concert and drone and fireworks show.

Seems funny that immediately after celebrating our independence there should be a British invasion. But, that’s just what happened. And, E got to see the group that made her swoon in high school;-) Welcome Herman’s Hermits – –

Playing tour guide is great fun so we were all off to Sundance where the lift took us to incredible views and a great Mexican food lunch!! Not once – but twice – with different friends. Who would have thought?

Then of course, there are the hikes. A favorite area is the Uinta Mountains – almost always around Mirror Lake.

Sometimes the ski areas provide the hiking destinations instead of heading east to the Uintas. This particular day at PC Mountain Resort was a perfect hiking day! Even got a little sprinkle to keep things cool. Ended up with 4.5 miles and 700′ vertical. Perfect!!

As if the scenery wasn’t enough – there are always the animals. Never get enough of them and always surprised how many are in the neighborhood – –

It is always hard to believe how fast time goes. Guess it is because the time is filled with golf a couple of times a week, hikes and walks several days and fabulous dinners 4-5 nights a week with lots of friends. Park City IS loved even more in the summer than the winter! Who would have thought?!?
