Park City, Utah has some incredible skiing. They're very proud of the fact that their snow is much fluffier than the wet stuff over in Lake Tahoe. So it's no surprise that winters in Park City are jam-packed with visitors, even when food and lodging cost a fortune.
I'm here to tell you that summers are no different. The main road out of Park City is so crowded in the evening that it can literally take more than five minutes to find a gap in traffic to make a left turn.
It's probably still worth joining the 3+ million tourists that reportedly visit each year, even in the summertime. The summer weather is perfect (20-30 degrees cooler than Salt Lake City, on average), the restaurants are wonderful, there's fun outdoorsy stuff to do, and the scenery can't be beat.
The main road in and out of town is pretty, even when it's jammed with cars. But if you're driving something smaller than a semi or a giant RV, consider taking the back way out of town, towards a nice little town called Midway.
The back route takes you right up and over the mountains, through some crazy twists and turns.
I saw only a handful of cars over a gorgeous 15-mile ride in cool, crisp air with views like this.
3 million tourists can definitely be wrong. But in this case, they really aren't.
