Hike from Your Doorstep: Old Town Park City Trails, Weather Shifts & What to Wear
One of the most underrated luxuries of living in Old Town Park City? The ability to step out your front door and hit a trail within minutes.
Whether it’s Sweeney’s Switchbacks, Jenni’s Trail, or the historic Ontario Mine route, Old Town residents enjoy instant access to some of the best hiking and biking in the Wasatch. And while the terrain is world-class, the weather likes to keep things interesting.
Layering: The Local Survival Skill
In Park City, the day might start in the 40s, warm to the 70s by noon, then drop again after sunset. If you live here—or are house hunting—it’s not just your home that needs to be adaptable. It’s your clothing.
That’s why locals swear by layering and smart gear. A standout piece? These highly-rated North Face Paramount Convertible Pants:
- Lightweight and breathable for uphill climbs
- Water-repellent, because afternoon showers are real
- Zip-off convertible—go from full-length to shorts in seconds
- Secure pockets for essentials on the move
Perfect for hikes that start cool and heat up quick—exactly the kind you’ll find above Old Town.
