Narrow Down the Date

This sounds quite simple, but the date of your mountain wedding dictates everything! You’re in the mountains, seeking an outdoor wedding. In order not to be covered in snow due to a blizzard, or in the blazing sun during a heat wave – you have to consider your ideal date. You’ll want to settle on a date as soon as possible. Then the real planning can begin! This isn’t a knock on winter weddings – they can be absolutely spectacular and great for photos, what with the snowy trees and snow-capped mountains. But weather delays and cold snaps are a real threat. If considering a winter wedding, think early December or perhaps even early March. (It’s technically still winter!) Spring and fall offer their unique gifts to the mountains in the form of wildflowers or fall foliage. You both are sure to stun in any season, just narrow down your date so you can enjoy your special day to the fullest.

Dress For the Occasion

For a mountain wedding planning, you’ll want to wear something that keeps you comfortable and that is suitable (pun intended) for the location. While the bride might be waiting for her princess moment, a full ballgown might make it difficult for her to trek down the aisle along a forest path. And stilettos may cause a tripping or ankle-twisting hazard. None of this should be happening on your big day! Consider fashionable attire that is unique to your love story, and that honors your unique style and tastes, that works for the terrain and weather. Oftentimes layered, breathable fabrics and simple, chic shoes can keep you comfortable while allowing you to shine.

Have a Weather Backup Plan

They say rain or any weather event on your wedding day is good luck. While you may welcome that, you’ll still want to consider what to do in the event of poor weather. A sunny, warm afternoon might shift to cooler temps, rain clouds, fog, or even flurries! What will you do to keep you and your guests from being affected? Work with your venue and planner to have a backup space. It could be a lodge or tent that will keep the party going while everyone is sheltered from bad weather.

Consider the Guest List

Everyone will have an opinion on who you should be inviting. It will seem like the biggest need in the world for you to invite your great aunt Trudy, that weird family friend, or your mom’s coworker who watched you grow up. Silence the noise by having a good talk with your partner about the essential people you need to have at your mountain wedding. The last thing you need is drama! Considering the guest list comes in handy for organizing any necessary transportation to your wedding venue also.

Factor in Altitude

A mountain wedding means higher elevation. This factor can affect people differently. While adjusting to the higher altitude, your guests might experience some lightheadedness, fatigue and dehydration. Remind guests and loved ones to stay hydrated and take it easy during the first day or two of festivities.

Work with Local Vendors

Tap into the wealth of knowledge from local resources. They’ll know how to access your venue in the best way possible. Ask if your caterer uses local produce for a farm-to-table dining experience or choose a florist who will give you a one-of-a-kind bouquet using flowers native to the area. Working with local vendors will give you the peace of mind knowing everything will go off without a hitch for your mountain wedding.

Plan for Sound and Lighting

You’ll want to also consider the sound and lighting needs of your mountain wedding. After the sun sets, you’ll need adequate lighting to keep the party going. String lights, lanterns, uplighting or even a bonfire can add to the aesthetics of your mountain wedding and keep the party going all night. Ask your wedding venue and DJ what options are available so that you don’t experience any sound or lighting snafus.

Check Permits and Restrictions

Because some of the most stunning spots for a mountain wedding are located on public lands, you might need to acquire a permit if you’re going to have a large gathering with music or a tent. Local parks or national forests may also have fire bans or noise ordinances. You’ll want to do some research and consult your wedding planner or venue provider to make sure you keep things safe and in line with town ordinances.

Create Mountain Themed Welcome Gifts and Favors

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest impact. What would you love to have if you were traveling to spend time in the mountains? Create a care package or welcome basket for your guests to enjoy upon arrival to the area, or for those in the wedding party during the rehearsal dinner. You don’t have to break the bank, but it can be a little token of love and appreciation for everyone who made it out for your mountain wedding.

Don’t Overdo It on Décor

Simple is often best. For a mountain wedding, the surroundings speak for themselves. You don’t need to necessarily go crazy on décor. Complement the mountain aesthetics with local florals, candles, wood details and elements that really showcase who you and your partner are as a couple.

You should! It’s chockfull of outdoor activities, family-friendly experiences, all in one beautifully unique mountain town. When you throw in a spectacular vacation rental like Weedon Ranch from Park City Vacation Rentals, you’re giving your family a luxury home that they’ll be excited to stay in. Here’s everything you need to know for planning an unforgettable family reunion in Park City.

What Makes a Great Family Reunion?

Getting everybody together in one central location is a tremendous feat. But creating a Park City family reunion getaway where you can have memorable experiences while spending time together. You need the elements that will keep everyone happy and engaged. And we need not forget the importance of simplicity! You want to plan a reunion without pulling all your hair out. Here’s some elements that you’ll want to include in your plans.

For starters you’ll want to secure some comfortable, spacious accommodations that have enough bathrooms (this is a necessity.) Next, you’ll need some group activities to plan that are both senior and kid friendly. Don’t forget to leave room in the itinerary for moments of relaxation and downtime. The location should be central, with easy access to the best attractions, entertainment and parks in the area. Park City is the place that can check all of these boxes and offer much more.

Choose Park City for Your Family Reunion

Maybe you’re on the fence trying to figure out what time of year to plan your reunion. No matter when you visit Park City, there’s always plenty to do. You’ll be close to ski-resorts like Park City Mountain and Deer Valley. If you come from a family of winter sport enthusiasts, you can ski, snowboard and tube all to your hearts content. On days when you’re not getting your winter sports on, you can go snowshoeing, ice skating, or just chill out. The best part will be being together.

In spring, summer, and fall, the snow thaws and the mountains come alive with warmth and wildflowers. Opportunities to get outside increase, so consider going on hikes, planning picnics, family bike rides, fishing, horseback riding, zip lining and so much more! There are plenty of local outfitters in the area where you can rent gear and organize a guided trip.

Family-Friendly Attractions

Visit historic Main Street and Junction Commons for a family shopping outing. Gather one-of-a-kind pieces for your home, matching clothing so everyone knows you’re together, and excellent souvenirs for the best family reunion you’ve ever had. If you need a little more adventure during your family reunion, there’s the Park City Alpine Slide or Utah Olympic Park. The kids will love getting to explore the area, run free and get all their energy out.

Be sure to grab a bite to eat at the excellent restaurants like No Name Saloon and the Twisted Fern. Their menu items will leave you wanting more and inspire you to recreate the dishes you’ve had during your family reunion in Park City.

Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave

For family flying into Salt Lake City Internation Airport, getting to Park City is only a 35 minute drive away. Once you’re in Park City, the free local bus system makes it easy to get around town, or you can rent a van (or multiple) to have the freedom and flexibility to travel on your terms.

Weedon Ranch Is Your Family Reunion Headquarters

Now that you know why Park City should be the destination of your upcoming family reunion, you’ll need a place to stay. While it may seem easy to just book multiple hotel rooms in the same hotel, you should treat yourself (and your family) to a luxury stay at Weedon Ranch, managed by Park City Vacation Rentals.

Room for Everyone

At Weedon Ranch, there’s room for the whole family to relax and rest comfortably. With 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, Weedon Ranch can unite up to 27 members of your family.  Gather together for moments of downtime around the firepit in your private outdoor space, play games in the game room, watch movies in the theater room or enjoy a homemade meal together.

Speaking of meals, Weedon Ranch has a full gourmet kitchen that has everything you need to cook family favorites during your stay. Grandma can make her pot roast, your mom can explore all of her casserole dishes, and your dad can become the resident grill master – as he always does. There’s plenty of dining space, too, with large tables perfect for sharing a meal, telling old stories, and making happy memories.

And if you ever need a moment to yourself, the space is large enough where you can carve out a little nook for yourself to read, write, reflect, or do a little work (if you must.) Weedon Ranch is the place to be!

Insider Tips for Planning Your Reunion

Make your reservations in advance. Once you ballpark the date, it’s essential to see if accommodations like Weedon Ranch are available to host you. Peak seasons naturally tend to fill up fast, so plan ahead and lock in your dates quickly.

Delegating helps take the load off. Consider making a family group chat and assigning responsibilities like scheduling activities, airport pickups and who will be cooking what. This can help minimize stress.

Not every moment of your family reunion getaway needs to be planned out. Unplanned moments lead to the best memories, so include moments of downtime and rest in the itinerary so that you’re not always on the go.

And for a special moment such as this, why not consider hiring a photographer to take family photos during your reunion in Park City. You won’t regret being able to look at these memories for years to come.

Fresh Air Gives Fresh Ideas

A great Park City corporate retreat starts with the setting. Running a business is hard work. Working long hours in the city, hustling to meet deadlines and project goals takes a lot out of you and your team. Getting out of the city and into nature for a while does wonders for the mind and body.

Park City is a utopia of outdoor adventure. Changing your environment to an area like Park City can spark creativity, inspire new innovations, and improve team communication.

When the temperatures warm up a bit, the outdoor adventures change to hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and even horseback riding. Get to know your team’s hobbies and interests while experiencing new things together. These activities can help foster a spirit of camaraderie in a way that icebreakers in the office wish they could!

When you’re not seeking outdoor activities, you can visit historic Main Street or Junction Commons to browse the boutiques, art galleries, and retail stores for anything you need. Make reservations to dine at some of the best restaurants in town, including tupelo Park City and Park City Roadhouse Grill. And if you’d like to treat your team to some wellness activities, there are spas and fitness studios in the area where you can do things together to actively enhance overall wellbeing.

Stargazing at Jordanelle State Park

The surrounding area of Park City offers an incredible spot where you can easily take in the night sky without overwhelming light pollution getting in the way. This is the joy of smaller areas but Park City has grown in size making stargazing a little harder when staying in town. During your next visit come over to Jordanelle State Park where you can find the perfect space for stargazing. Jordanelle State Park gives you the ideal spot where you will find a dark sky without interfering lights. The park is home to most dark sky events here in the area and is perfect for an evening where you can sit under the stars. Bring your telescope if you happen to have one on hand and simply be amazed by the cosmos. Getting to Jordanelle State Park is a simple short drive from your vacation rental.

Stop by McPolin Farmstead

Whenever you drive in and out of Park City you are sure to see a picture perfect white barn sitting on the hills. McPolin Farmstead, also known as the more simple White Barn, is a picturesque spot where it is frequented by visitors to snap a new Instagram worthy picture at. While the barn is popular itself the surrounding trails are less well known about. These scenic walking trails are the perfect destination when you are looking to avoid the crowds of Main Street. Bring a picnic and sit among the hills to have incredible mountain views in front of you. This farmstead has been around since the 1920s and continues to be a Park City staple worth visiting.

Historic Jail at Park City Museum

Visiting the local museum when you travel somewhere new is a fun way to see the rich history of your destination. Museums provide authentic displays and exhibits where you can have a fun and educational experience. Park City is home to our very own Park City Museum that is well known and frequently visited throughout the year. It is on the smaller side and will take approximately one to two hours to see in full. While the museum is popular there is one section that is frequently overlooked and that is the Historic Jail. This is the actual jail cell of Historic Park City from back during the mining boom. This immersive exhibit is a great way to see how robbers and criminals from over 100 years ago would stay when caught by the law. It is a fascinating experience that is quickly overlooked.

Freestyle Shows at Olympic Park

Here in Park City we are known for our Utah Olympic Park where you will find training programs happening throughout the year. Some of the biggest winter sport athletes come from Park City and it is easy to see why. The Utah Olympic Park is one of the biggest attractions of the year where you can find plenty of sporting facilities. However, one of their lesser known activities are the freestyle shows taking place in the summer. This summer activity features shows where athletes will take on aerial defying tricks before landing in a large swimming pool. It is a thrilling experience and a family friendly activity for everyone to come see!

Bloods Lake

You will find plenty of hiking trails to explore in Park City all throughout the year. The summer months allow the winter snows to melt and open up vast areas to explore. One such area is Bloods Lake that is a nearby alpine lake found near Guardsmen Pass. This quiet lake is accessed through a moderately easy trail that has you exploring open meadows and vast forests. It is a less popular trail so expect a quiet afternoon being surrounded by natural beauty. The lake is a great spot for a picnic and to snap pictures of to help remember your trip by.

Park City Is Home All Year Round

These hidden activities are a great way to plan for your Park City adventure getaway. Make sure to reserve one of our vacation rentals here in the area to prepare. These are luxury homes by the mountains that have no equal here in Park City.

4^th of July Drone Show

One activity that is always a necessity over the 4^th of July is a stunning fireworks show. That is always the first thing that comes to mind when celebrating the holiday. Here in Park City, we do things a little differently; instead of a fireworks show, you will find an incredible drone show on the night of the 4^th of July. Just because it is a drone show does not mean you will be disappointed with the experience. Our 4^th of July drone show has been conducted for several years now and is a local favorite activity. This type of activity lets the drones come up with stunning aerial displays instead of your typical fireworks bursts. Your kids will be amazed at the shapes taking place in the sky that they have never seen anywhere else.

What to Pack and Wear for a Park City Summer Vacation

You’ve got your suitcase out, and you’re surrounded by clothing everywhere you turn. Each item you think you’re going to pack, you toss to the side – confused and in despair about the weather, experiences you can have, and what to wear on any given day. We’re here to help!

You’re going to want to think in layers when it comes to packing for your summer vacation in Park City. This city is located at over 7,000 feet above sea level, meaning the temperatures can fluctuate quickly and noticeably, even during the summer months. The day might start off with a crisp cool morning, warm up to a sunny 80-degree day and be back to needing a jacket in the evening. This what makes layers key. Dressing in adaptable, layered clothing will keep you comfortable. No matter what the temperature decides to dip to, you’ll be ready.

Daytime Essentials

What do you consider your perfect ensemble? What are the elements? Well, for Park City – you’ll want to consider easy, breathable fabrics that are lightweight, maybe even moisture wicking. These are ideal if you’ll be engaging in the many different outdoor activities for which Park City is known.

Breathable materials help regulate your body temperature and pull sweat away from your skin. These are ideal if you’re going for a hike, mountain bike ride, or even a round of golf. Unlike heavy cotton, performance fabrics and athletic attire can dry quickly – leaving you feeling fresh, even if you’ve worked up a sweat.

Pair tops with flexible hiking shorts, athletic leggings, or lightweight pants made from stretchy, quick-drying materials. Park City’s hiking and biking trails often involve a little bit of rock scrambling, trekking up switchbacks, and possibly some uneven trails. Wearing clothing that moves with you will make a huge difference in your overall comfort and enjoyment. Plus, if after a hike you decide to do a little shopping or dining – having an extra sweater or jacket in the car can level up your outfit to suit the occasion.

Layers Are a Lifesaver

Even when the forecast calls for sunshine, mornings and higher-elevation spots can feel chilly. A lightweight fleece or packable jacket is a must. Simply throw it on when you’re going to grab coffee in town or walk along an early morning trail. As the day warms up and the sun reaches its peak, it’ll be no big deal to peel back that extra layer and stash it away in your backpack or car.

Another key item could be a breathable, waterproof rain jacket or shell. Mountain weather can be unpredictable, and summer showers do happen, bringing a change in winds and temperature. Stay dry and avoid having to cut your Park City adventures short just because it rained. Packing a small packable umbrella could be useful for this reason as well.

Walk Smarter, Not Harder

What you wear on your feet is just as important as any other part of your ensemble. You are bound to do a lot of walking during your summer vacation in Park City. And why not? The weather is beautiful and there’s much to see and do that can be accessed on foot. Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are essential. Think support for your arch, good sole grip, and versatile for any occasion. To explore downtown Park City, walk through farmers markets, festivals and more, you’re going to need the right pair of shoes!

For outdoor activities like hiking, trail running, or biking, you’ll want to consider packing, hiking boots or trail runners with solid grip and ankle support. Trails here can be rocky, steep, or slick with loose gravel. Wearing footwear that provides traction and stability helps prevent slips and sore feet. This means you’ll be able to do more for longer, with the right footwear.

Planning to spend time by the water? Pack water shoes or durable sandals designed to get wet. They’ll save your regular shoes from meeting their soggy demise while offering you better traction on slippery rocks during paddleboarding, tubing, or wading in the cool mountain streams.

Evening Outfits

Going for dinner and drinks downtown? Go on a date looking and feeling your best. Collared shirts paired with jeans or slacks, or easygoing summer dresses, flowy blouses and tops paired with denim or linen pants will help you match the Park City evening vibes.

The trick is to bring versatile pieces that can shift easily from day to evening. A sundress you wore to brunch can work just as well at a patio dinner with the addition of a light cardigan and simple jewelry. Or that polo shirt you wore to play golf can be transformed with the addition of some dark wash jeans. Have fun with it. Plan out your itinerary and mix and match outfits so you can pack lighter.

Don’t Underestimate the Need for Sun Protection

It’s summer. Everyone wants to work on their tan and there’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a golden glow. However, you’ll want to keep in mind that the sun feels very strong at higher elevations. Being 7000 feet (or 2,134 meters) above sea level means UV exposure is more intense, and sunburns can sneak up on you quickly if you don’t take precautions.

Pack high SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen and apply it generously before heading outdoors, and remember to reapply throughout the day. Sunglasses with UV protection are a must, as the bright sunlight reflecting off mountain slopes and lakes can be surprisingly harsh on your eyes. A wide-brimmed sunhat, fedora or cap would also be a smart item to include on your packing list, keeping you stylish and shady for your summer days in the sunshine.

A Final Tip: Pack Smart, Stay Flexible

With a thoughtfully packed bag full of comfortable, practical, and versatile clothing, you’ll be ready to experience all that Park City has to offer – in any weather, rain or shine!  Giving a little thought to your packing list will help you to be ready for whatever your summer days in Park City may bring.

Additional Items to Pack

Beyond your daily clothes, make room in your suitcase for gear that enhances your summer in Park City.

Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during hikes and save money on single-use plastic bottles. Often you can fill up before you head out for the day and fill up at water stations or if you dine out at restaurants.

A compact backpack will be great for carrying items you need for long days out, like a sweater or jacket for later in the evening. You can also store daily essentials, snacks, binoculars for wildlife watching, and a camera to capture those summer moments.

Don’t forget to pack swimwear! If you choose the right vacation rental, like the ones from Park City Vacation Rentals, there’s a chance you might have an on-site pool or hot tub to use. Swimsuits are also necessary for outdoor excursions like rafting, tubing, or swimming in the lakes and rivers of Park City.

When it comes to daily essentials, consider adding a small first aid kit to your list along with insect repellent. This will help you ward off any intruding bugs and handle any small cuts or bruises that arise when doing any outdoor activities.

Summer Adventures in Park City

Park City is home to an incredible variety of things to do outside in summer.

Biking is definitely a summer activity you’ll want to try during your visit. With over 400 miles of scenic trails for mountain biking and paved routes for road cyclists, there’s a path for every rider. Rent a bike locally or bring your own. Travel through trails that wind along wildflower meadows, mine sites, and shady forests.

Are you an angler? Get in some good fly fishing in nearby rivers like the Provo and Weber, where the fish are biting and the views are spectacular. If you are just getting into the sport, guided fly-fishing tours are available to help you learn the ropes in Park City.  Whitewater rafting and other water sports are also popular this time of year. If you want something a little else intense, try paddleboarding or kayaking.

When you’re ready to hit the trails on a hike, choose from trails like the Armstrong Trail, Silver Lake Trail, and Bloods Lake Loop are all favorites that will challenge you while immersing you in the summer beauty of Park City.

You can also take in Park City in out-of-the-box ways like horseback riding or hot air balloon rides. Go with a local guide on a guided horseback ride through the forest or take to the skies in a hot air balloon ride with any of the various balloon companies in the area.

There’s also the thrill of a zipline ride or alpine coaster at Park City Mountain Resort. Speed through the trees or race downhill on tracks that twist and turn – a great new way to have fun outdoors this summer. With so many outdoor activities, now you can see why it’s essential to pack wisely!
