It offers countless lodging and dining choices, mainly at resort prices. The finest places to stay include the chateau-style Goldener Hirsch Inn (800-252-3373) and the Scandinavian-themed Stein Eriksen Lodge (800-453-1302), both on the mountain at Deer Valley Resort (800-424-DEER; Stop in at the Park City Museum and Territorial Jail (801-649-6100), also on Main Street, and pick up a brochure with a walking tour of town—or lead your own by reading the plaques up and down Main. Personalized tours, as well as event planning, are available from Utah Escapades (435-649-9949), run by an energetic and accommodating local woman named Sally Elliott who can personally claim credit for a great deal of the historic preservation both in town and on the slopes. Also, good general information is available from the Park City Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau (800-453-1360; At Park City Mountain Resort (800-222-PARK;
