Park City Utah Time's best places to visit

UTAH (ABC4) – If you’re looking for travel recommendations, look no further as TIME has released its annual list of the “World’s Greatest Places” to visit in 2022.

These 50 unique destinations span the globe, offering scenery to satisfy every traveler — from ancient historic villages and stunning mountain vistas to futuristic metropolitans and living ecosystems dating back thousands of years.

Notably, one Utah city made this incredible list — Park City. Renowned as a world-class ski destination and as the host city for the annual Sundance Film Festival, Park City has become a notable spot for celebs, locals and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.

“The charming ski town rose to fame hosting the annual Sundance Film Festival, a star-studded celebs-in-snow-boots event, but is now growing into a major winter and summer destination on par with Aspen,” says TIME. “But it’s not all upscale accommodations, new restaurants, and ski-in ski-out at this beloved winter escape: the city is enticing summer visitors with golfing, hiking, fly-fishing, and mountain-biking opportunities set on a mesmerizing backdrop.”
