Leaf-Peeping & Low-Crowd Adventures

Hiking for Color

Hike for color. Fall is quick but spectacular here-reds and oranges arrive first high on the slopes, then gold sweeps the hillsides. Local favorites like Bloods Lake, Jenni's, Mid Mountain, and Silver Lake reward you with aspen groves and views. (Always check trail use and dogs' rules.) These are among the best Park City fall hikes for autumn colors and leaf peeping.

Scenic Drives

  • Guardsman Pass (SR-190/224): Open seasonally into fall, weather permitting. A classic route for sweeping mountain color.

  • Mirror Lake Highway (SR-150): Accessible mid-spring through mid-fall, offering a half-day of lake-hopping among high-alpine foliage.

Tip: Check UDOT's seasonal road updates before heading out, as early storms can close passes quickly.
