Plan Your Visit
The bus is free, the street is walkable end to end, and parking changes with the seasons. Here's what you need to know before you go.
Getting Around
Park City runs two fare-free bus systems, and both stop at the bottom of Main Street. Once you're here, everything is walkable.
Park City Transit and High Valley Transit are free to ride, every route, all year. Every bus has a ramp and priority seating. Almost every Park City Transit route goes through the Old Town Transit Center at the base of Main Street, and High Valley Transit stops there too.
The trolley runs up and down Main Street. Ride it to the top and walk back down.
In ski season, the Town Lift connects the bottom of Main Street with Park City Mountain. Ski down for lunch and ride back up.
Main Street runs uphill from the Transit Center to the top of the street. Comfortable shoes help, and in winter so does traction on the sidewalks.
Uber and Lyft operate in Park City but can be scarce on peak ski weekends and during events. Plan ahead or take the bus.
Parking
Parking downtown is limited and priced by season. Rates and free hours change several times a year, and big events have their own pricing. This section is updated as rates change.

DirectionsGetting Here
Salt Lake City International Airport is about 35 minutes from Park City by car. There are three ways to make the trip.
Mostly on I-80. Winter weather can add time, so check road conditions before you leave.
Shared and private shuttles, such as Canyon Transportation and Snow Country Limousine, run between the airport and Park City. Book ahead in ski season and around holidays.
There's no direct bus from the airport, but you can do it all on transit: the TRAX Green Line from the airport to City Center station, then High Valley Transit route 107 from 200 South and Main to Kimball Junction, then a free bus to Main Street. It takes a while, but it costs little.

Seasons
Ski season. The street is at its busiest on powder weekends and holidays, and evenings run late. Daytime temperatures sit in the teens to low 40s, but the air is dry and the sun is out more often than not. Book dinner ahead, and take the bus if you can.
Spring skiing runs into mid-April, with long, sunny afternoons on the decks. After the lifts close, Main Street gets quieter. May is green, calm, and a good time to visit without crowds. Some businesses adjust their hours between seasons.
Patios open, the event calendar fills up, and the street stays busy into the evening. Daytime temperatures run in the mid-70s to low 80s, with cool nights. Expect short afternoon storms in July and August.
The aspens turn gold, usually from mid-September into early October, and the town slows down. Late October into early November is the quietest stretch of the year. Many restaurants and shops stay open year-round, but check hours before you go.
