ScenicEasySummerFallWinter
Take a scenic aerial journey for bird's-eye views of the changing oak and maple scrub blanketing the Wasatch Range.
Itinerary tips
- 1Park in the Cabriolet lot and ride the free open-air gondola to reach the Canyons Village base area where the Silver Queen departs.
- 2Allocate at least 45 to 60 minutes for the round-trip journey to allow time for photos and exploring the mid-mountain area.
- 3Bring a light windbreaker even in summer, as temperatures at the upper terminal are significantly cooler than in the valley.
- 4Check the lift status on the Park City Mountain website before departing to ensure the gondola is running during off-peak windows.
- 5Purchase your lift tickets online in advance to skip the ticket window lines and head straight to the boarding area.
- 6Pack a camera with a polarized lens to best capture the deep oranges and reds of the scrub oak during the autumn season.
