Leaf Peeping
Fall In Park City
Fall may not be the longest season in Park City, but it’s nothing short of spectacular. As the sunlight begins to wane, the trees begin to put on a show for us, and this special season presents itself in a display of color that one must revel in. A great way to immerse yourself in the beauty of these mountains in the fall is to head out on some of our most spectacular hikes.
Hiking Trails
This is truly an amazing time of year to be in Park City, with the transformation from summer to fall, the newly crisp chilly air, and the colorful foliage beauty all around us. It’s not too hot, and not too cold (yet), what a great excuse to get out on the trails for a couple more hikes before the days get shorter and the snow begins to fall.
Bloods Lake
Trail Use: Hiking
Dog Friendly: No
Tucked on the side of a 10,000-foot mountain, Bloods Lake is a local favorite, you can’t beat a pristine high alpine lake perfect for swimming with peninsulas, rock features, and even a rope swing! The trail is fairly easy, but it does have some moderately steep areas.
The trail is beautiful as it meanders through meadows, with scenic views of the Wasatch, and dense Aspen groves, which are showing their true colors!
Mid Mountain
Trail Use: Hiking
Dog Friendly: Yes
Perfect for families, Mid Mountain is incredibly scenic as it wraps and winds through Deer Valley. Down canyon views, dense woods, huge open meadows, and ski run crossings all make for a unique hike. The Mid Mountain trail hovers around 8,000 feet, requiring you to hike up to it or get a ride. But one of the best parts of this section is the access via public transit. The Orange bus line accesses Silverlake, and the Purple line accesses Montage. Or you could book Transit to Trails for an even faster trip up the hill.
Jenni's Trail
Trail Use: Hiking and Biking
Dog Friendly: No
While on Jenni’s Trail, you can meander a gentle uphill trail through gorgeous Aspen groves with smooth switchbacks that cross numerous ski runs. The trail opens up to some beautiful views of Park City Mountain, perfect for autumn leaf peeping. Perfect for a short or long hike, choose-your-own hiking adventure, as you can go as long or as short as you want or hook up with other trails to extend your fall foliage day of exploration.
