I’m finally getting round to posting some photos from my January trip to Utah. I visited Park City on the second day of\u00a0my stay in Salt Lake City. It was approximately a half an hour’s drive away.<\/p>\n
As Park City’s altitude was at least\u00a0800m higher compared to\u00a0Salt Lake City, a transition in weather condition was expected.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Wasatch mountains were indeed covered in powdery snow, so beautiful with the\u00a0brightly painted\u00a0houses.<\/p>\n
<\/a>As well as being one of the prettiest towns, Park City is also one of the wealthiest cities in the United States.<\/p>\n It is home to 3 major ski resorts and hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. There’s also a large and separate slope for daring snow boarders.<\/p>\n My\u00a0driver was a wealth of information, he told me that the nearby Deer Valley resort was a Winter playground for\u00a0the rich and famous, with their holiday homes.<\/p>\n Park City was definitely different to downtown Salt Lake City. There was an immediate heritage feel to the place with its preserved architecture.<\/p>\n All around, people were busy preparing for the crowd surge\u00a0that is to come. It was 3 days to go before the quiet town was to host the annual Sundance Film festival.<\/p>\n Isn’t the post office so charming?<\/p>\n <\/a>Along the main street were a great choice of eateries. I was recommended Cafe Terigo<\/a><\/span> for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. I had the most delicious grilled salmon and avocado on mixed greens with a honey mustard dressing, garnished with crunchy onion rings. All washed down with the most refreshing iced tea.<\/p>\n <\/a>Lining the main high street of Park City were many little independent stores, although I must admit I found that majority of them were\u00a0selling\u00a0tourist merchandise. However, the good news is that there are free buses that transport you to the Tanger retail outlet store<\/a><\/span> close by – Imagine J.Crew and Abercrombie and Fitch at 75% off!<\/p>\n What attracted me to Park City were the cute heritage homes like the one above. Love the sweet little porch. Just imagine some peace and quiet, drinking hot chocolate and watching the world go by.<\/p>\n <\/a>The\u00a0sky blue and peach hue of this little home were so perfectly partnered that I couldn’t resist taking a photo.<\/p>\n <\/a>Most of the homes were colourful, but I also adored this perfectly white one. I’m imagining Christmas inside with a log burning fire, sweet scents of oranges,cinnamon and freshly baked bread. Also a\u00a0beautiful fir tree adorned with twinkling lights. One can dream right?<\/p>\n <\/a>Now for the visual feast of the other colourful wooden houses lining the streets parallel to the main high street of Park City.<\/p>\n
