Park City, Utah: Only about 8000 permanent residents, it is a tourist, sport, and film mecca


Park City has had a long history, first as a silver mining center, then later as a center for winter sports such as snowboarding and skiing. Its primary claim to fame today is the annual Sundance Film Festival, which draws film producers and film stars from around the globe. The independent films that are showcased here are the best to be found anywhere. There are art galleries and bistros in abundance. The charm of the city is in its mountain high beauty, resting at 7000 feet elevation, and the marvelous lodge style architecture of its many hotels, resorts, and homes. Young adults gather into the city seasonally for employment at peak events. The city has so much to offer and so much potential growth. It is only about 33 miles from Salt Lake City but is one of the cities not founded by Mormons. It is a multicultural, multiethnic city of snowy beauty and crystal clear nights lit by the brilliance of electric lanterns. Take a visit, you will love it. It is one of the wealthiest towns in the nation but offers opportunity for those whose pockets are not as full as well.
