People often ask
The trip usually takes 35–45 minutes, depending on traffic and weather. Winter storms can add a little extra time.
Yes, there is a shared shuttle that runs from SLC directly to Park City. This is the most affordable way to get to Park City with multiple departures each day.
A pre-booked shuttle or private transfer is the simplest option. It avoids rental car queues, parking hassles, and the need to drive in snow. Shuttles are more cost effective, whilst private transfers will work to your schedule or better suit larger groups and early/late flight arrivals.
Whilst it is possible pricing can surge based on demand meaning it is not always cheaper than a pre-arranged transfer and availability is not guaranteed. Many Uber drivers prefer to focus on trip within the Salt Lake City area.
No. Park City has a free public transit system and the town is very easy to walk around. Many people find they end up paying for a car that is seldom used once they arrive in Park City and parking can be difficuly during busy periods.
The road is well-maintained but storms can make the canyon section slick. If you’re unfamiliar with winter driving, booking transportation is safer.
It’s a good idea, especially during ski season or busy weekends. Pre-booking guarantees a seat and often secures better pricing.
Deer Valley is just 1–2 miles from Park City’s Main Street, depending on your accommodation. The two areas are connected by free public transit, making it easy to move between them without a car.
About travelling from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Park City, UT
Park City is one of the most accessible mountain destinations in North America, located just 35 minutes from Salt Lake City Airport. The area has two major resorts on its doorstep, Park City Mountain and Deer Valley. The town was best known as a prominent silver mining town until the early 70s when the city’s mining company built the first ski lifts in what would become the largest ski resort in the United States, Park City Mountain Resort.
With thousands of acres to explore, Park City Mountain offers a huge range of skiing with everything from wide carving runs and beginner zones to tree skiing, alpine bowls, and short hikes to more advanced terrain. Across its 40 lifts and nearly 350 trails, skiers and riders of all abilities will find plenty to keep them busy. The resort averages 300 inches of light, fluffy snow each winter owing to its high elevation and naturally dry climate. Visitors also have the choice of staying at either the Canyons Village or Park City itself, two distinct base areas connected thanks to the Quicksilver Gondola and a free bus service.
The town of Park CIty itself is a core part of why the resort is so popular having retained its character from its mining era. The historic Main Street, connected directly to the slopes, is lined with historic buildings, saloons, award-winning restaurants, galleries, shops and coffee spots. Visitors can find anything from loud and lively apres spots like High West Distillery and No Name Saloon, family friendly patios such as Legends Bar & Grill as well as high-end dining such as Handle. Park City has a real, live-in feel as opposed to a resort village built from scratch.
Not just a winter destination, Park City is a true year round place with a mountain bike park, hiking trails, golf, fishing and outdoor events. The Wasatch Mountains surrounding the town give you endless trail options and views that don’t require mountaineer fitness levels. The Sundance Film Festival takes place every January bringing a great opportunity to spot a celebrity or two.
Getting here is easy, and Ridebooker can handle the transfer so you don’t have to deal with rental cars, parking, or winter roads. We offer shared shuttles as well as private SUVs, vans, and taxis from Salt Lake City Airport (SLC) straight to Park City, Canyons Village or Deer Valley accommodations. The drive is straightforward following the highway into the foothills, up the canyon, and you’re there. Once you arrive, it’s easy to get around using the free bus services provided by Park City Transit and the Main Street Trolley.
