Three Park City Adventures. One Choice.
Each member selects one signature Park City experience
★
Friday afternoon, we journey to Park City — Utah's storied mountain town — for an adventure that reflects the spirit of exploration.
Fly Fishing the Upper Provo
Wade the legendary upper Provo River in pursuit of wild natural brown trout. A half-day of solitude, skill, and the timeless rhythm of a mountain river.
Shopping in Park City
Wander the charming galleries, boutiques, and shops of Park City's historic Main Street. Discover local artisans, fine jewelry, and mountain-inspired treasures.
The Closing Celebration

Our final evening gathers at The Nelson Cottage by High West — an intimate, warmly lit dining room steps from the legendary High West Saloon in the heart of downtown Park City. A fitting finale in the mountain town where our afternoon adventures began.
