Great outdoor seating off the beaten path (make a reservation!). Food is decent & they often have live music in the summer. A great place for kids, since they can run around outside while waiting for food. Located at the start of Armstrong Trail--so take a hike & stop for dinner when you are done.

It's only a mile to the overlook, but it is an UPHILL mile. At altitude. From the overlook you get a great view of Park City Resort, looking down at the King Con lift. Keep climbing and the trail meets up with the Mid Mountain trail. If you are hiking it in the winter, bring yaktrax to keep from sliding. Loads of people sled down.

Take a Hike
If you make it to the Uintas, Bald Mountain is a (relatively) short 3 mile hike to get to a spectacular viewpoint at almost 12K feet (but it starts at 10,800’). Trail has some rocky/steep parts. Pay attention to the weather, it can change quick up that high. If it’s smoky, the view won’t be nearly as great.

I run, walk, or bike this trail about 100 times every summer. Go in the evening and there are often lots of wildlife. I fairly regularly see moose, elk, deer, and just once, a bobcat. One way uphill for bikers, but multidirectional for hikers. Make it a loop & come down Dawn's or keep going up to either Ham or the Mid Mountain Trail. Closed in winter.

If you make it to the Uintas (about a 45 minute drive west of here) there are a lot of great trails and lakes. One of our favorites is a trail called Lofty Lake Loop. Its a 4 mile loop that starts at the Pass Lake trailhead and winds past 3 alpine lakes. There are some great lake trails off the Crystal Lake trailhead. The Uintas are really nice in the summer because they are higher up so a bit cooler and there are a lot of lakes. Near the lakes, you are likely to run across mosquitos. It can get very busy on weekends, so mid-week is best for avoiding crowds. Day passes are $6, and you can buy them at self-pay stations in the park or at the Ranger Station in Kamas. The road is closed in winter.
