FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Park City’s YOTELPad Transforms Into Canyon Haus Under New Local Management
Canyons Village Cond-hotel Embraces Mountain Culture with Rebrand and Partnership with All Seasons Resort Lodging
PARK CITY, UTAH – [Date] – The mountain condo-hotel formerly known as YOTELPad Park City has announced its transformation to Canyon Haus, marking a significant shift toward authentic local connection and adventure-focused hospitality. The property has selected Park City-based All Seasons Resort Lodging as its new management company, bringing decades of boutique condo-hotel management expertise to the 142-unit property in Canyons Village.
The rebrand reflects a fundamental reimagining of what mountain accommodation can be—not just a place to sleep between adventures, but a basecamp that enhances the entire Park City experience.
Canyon Haus complimentary Ski Valet
Built by Explorers, for Explorers
The Canyon Haus transformation addresses a common frustration among mountain travelers: the disconnect between where you stay and the destination you came to experience. With the Cabriolet lift running directly adjacent to the property and only 700 feet to the Red Pine Gondola, Canyon Haus offers unparalleled ski access. The Orange Bubble Express (a heated 4-person express chair) and the brand-new Sunrise Gondola are just a short walk beyond, making this one of the most lift-accessible locations in Canyons Village. Thousands of skiers pass Canyon Haus daily on the Cabriolet, yet few realize this mountain gem sits right at their fingertips.
At Canyon Haus, staying in becomes as much a part of the adventure as venturing out. The property’s 142 thoughtfully designed condos range from efficient studios to three-bedroom units, each featuring full galley kitchens, space-saving Murphy beds, and mountain-focused amenities for socialization and gathering. Year-round heated outdoor pool and hot tub, ski valet service, 24/7 market, and free underground parking ensure guests spend less time on logistics and more time on what brought them to Park City.
“This property was always designed with the experience of staying and playing in Park City in mind,” said Patti Smith, senior vice president of business development and asset management at Replay Destinations, developer of the property. “With the boutique Canyon Haus brand and local, proven operating partners in All Seasons Resort Lodging, we’re excited for this transformation to fully embrace the authentic Park City mountain experience.”
Local Expertise Meets Mountain Hospitality
The selection of All Seasons Resort Lodging brings a distinctly Park City perspective to Canyon Haus operations. Based locally in Park City with additional properties in Santa Fe, San Diego, and Mexico, ASRL has built its reputation on transforming vacation rentals from transactions into authentic experiences.
“Canyon Haus represents everything we believe vacation lodging should be,” said Matt Little, President of All Seasons Resort Lodging. “This property already has incredible bones—the location, the design, the potential. Our role is to inject the local knowledge, genuine hospitality, and adventure-focused service that turns a great property into an unforgettable mountain experience. We’re not just managing a building; we’re creating a community for fellow thrill-seekers.”
Outdoor heated pool and hot tub at Canyon Haus.
More Than a Name Change
The Canyon Haus transformation extends beyond branding to encompass every aspect of the guest experience:
🏔️ Adventure-Focused Service: Staff who live, ski, and explore Park City provide insider knowledge on everything from powder stashes to local brewery recommendations.
🎿 Unbeatable Location: Cabriolet lift runs adjacent to the property, 700 feet to Red Pine Gondola, short walk to Orange Bubble Express (heated 4-person chair) and the brand new Sunrise Gondola, 5 miles from Historic Main Street, and 34 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport.
🏊 Year-Round Mountain Amenities: Heated outdoor pool and hot tub, ski valet, bike storage, fitness room with Peloton bikes, sauna, game room, and gathering spaces with fire pits.
👥 Community Connection: Designed spaces that facilitate connections between fellow adventurers, from the View Terrace to the Backyard fire pit areas.
💼 Versatile Event Spaces: The Wasatch Room, Hub Board Room, View Terrace, and Backyard accommodate corporate retreats, weddings, and celebrations from 10 to 100+ guests.
Steps from the lifts, Canyon Haus celebrates mountain culture.
Elevating Park City’s Mountain Culture
The Canyon Haus rebrand arrives as Park City continues to establish itself as a year-round mountain destination. With summer mountain biking, hiking, and festival culture complementing world-class winter skiing, the property’s new positioning serves adventure-seeking travelers regardless of season.
“We’re building something special here—a place where the accommodation contributes to your story rather than detracting from it,” Smith added. “With All Seasons Resort Lodging’s management expertise and our shared vision for authentic mountain hospitality, Canyon Haus will set a new standard for what condotel experiences can be.”
Canyon Haus is currently accepting reservations for winter and summer seasons. The property offers studios through three-bedroom configurations with full kitchens, modern appointments, and direct access to Park City’s legendary outdoor recreation.

About Canyon Haus

Formerly YOTELPad Park City, the property has been reimagined as an adventure-focused basecamp that bridges authentic local experience with modern comfort.

About All Seasons Resort Lodging
In 1999, Alan Finnegan had a simple conviction: vacation rentals shouldn’t feel like transactions. They should feel like coming home—only better. That belief grew from a handful of condos at Park City Ski Resort into a family of properties spanning Park City, Santa Fe, San Diego, and Mexico. Decades later, All Seasons Resort Lodging remains obsessed with that original idea: your vacation should be effortless, exceptional, and entirely yours. The company specializes in boutique condotel management and marketing, with deep expertise in mountain resort operations and guest experience. Headquartered in Park City, Utah, ASRL manages properties across multiple premier vacation destinations.

Santa Fe Día de los Muertos 2025: Your Complete Guide to Lodging & Celebrating the Day of the Dead

Thousands of families gather beneath strings of papel picado as the sweet scent of pan de muerto mingles with piñon smoke from nearby chimneys. This is Día de los Muertos in Santa Fe—where ancient Mexican traditions blend with 400 years of New Mexican culture to create something truly magical.
Whether you’re seeking a meaningful cultural experience, planning a memorable family vacation, or looking to capture the authentic spirit of the Southwest, Santa Fe’s Day of the Dead celebration offers an unforgettable journey.

What Makes Santa Fe’s Día de los Muertos So Special?
🕯️ Understanding the Tradition
Día de los Muertos represents far more than a holiday—it’s a beautiful celebration where the boundary between life and death becomes gossamer-thin, allowing families to reconnect with departed loved ones. Unlike Halloween’s focus on fear, this tradition embraces death as a natural continuation of life’s journey.
The roots stretch back over 3,000 years to the Aztec empire, where skulls symbolized rebirth and honoring the deceased meant celebrating their continued existence on another plane. Today, families create elaborate ofrendas (altars) adorned with photographs, favorite foods, and personal belongings to welcome spirits home for one magical night.
🎨 Santa Fe’s Unique Cultural Fusion
Santa Fe brings its own extraordinary flavor to this ancient tradition. Here, where Native American, Spanish Colonial, and Mexican cultures have intertwined for over four centuries, Día de los Muertos takes on distinctive characteristics you won’t find anywhere else:
The celebration incorporates New Mexican elements like farolitos (paper bag luminarias), locally-grown marigolds from high-desert gardens, and red and green chile-infused treats alongside traditional Mexican offerings. Local santeros (saint makers) contribute their distinctive folk art to the ofrendas, while Native American blessing ceremonies add another layer of spiritual depth.
What truly sets Santa Fe apart? The intimate scale combined with authentic cultural respect. Unlike massive city celebrations, Santa Fe’s Plaza creates a village-like atmosphere where locals and visitors unite in genuine remembrance and celebration.

Picture the aroma of fresh bread mingling with the sound of Spanish guitars while vibrant handcrafted art catches the morning light across Santa Fe’s historic Plaza. The Santa Fe Spanish Market transforms the heart of the city into a living gallery where centuries-old traditions come alive through the hands of master artisans.
Since 1926, this remarkable celebration has drawn visitors from around the world to witness the largest and oldest Spanish Colonial art market in the United States. More than just a shopping experience, it’s a cultural immersion that connects you to the deep roots of New Mexico’s Spanish Colonial heritage.
What Makes the Santa Fe Spanish Market So Special? 🎨
The Spanish Market represents far more than a typical art fair. Organized by the Spanish Colonial Arts Society, this annual tradition showcases authentic Spanish Colonial and Hispanic folk art created by skilled artisans who have preserved techniques passed down through generations.
“The market is where our culture breathes,” explains master santero Carlos Espinoza, whose intricate wooden saints have graced the Plaza for over two decades. “Each piece tells a story that connects us to our ancestors.”
The market features an extraordinary range of traditional art forms including:
- Retablos – painted wooden panels depicting saints and religious scenes
- Bultos – carved wooden saints and figurines
- Tinwork – decorative items crafted from tin
- Weaving – textiles using traditional patterns and techniques
- Furniture – handcrafted pieces in Spanish Colonial style
- Jewelry – silver and turquoise creations
- Pottery – ceramics following ancestral methods
Traditional vs Contemporary: Understanding Both Markets 📊
One unique aspect of Santa Fe’s celebration is that it actually encompasses two distinct but complementary events. Understanding the difference helps visitors appreciate the full spectrum of Hispanic artistic expression.
| Aspect | Traditional Spanish Market | Contemporary Hispanic Market |
|---|---|---|
| Origins | Founded in 1926, focuses on pre-1821 Spanish Colonial traditions | Established in 1973, celebrates modern Hispanic artistic expression |
| Art Types | Religious art, santos, retablos, traditional furniture | Paintings, sculptures, mixed media, contemporary interpretations |
| Location | Santa Fe Plaza and surrounding streets | Lincoln Avenue, across from the Plaza |
| Artist Requirements | Must demonstrate mastery of traditional techniques | Open to innovative approaches and modern interpretations |
Both markets occur simultaneously during the last full weekend in July, creating a comprehensive celebration of Hispanic artistry that spans centuries of creative evolution.

Meet the Master Artisans ✨
What truly sets the Spanish Market apart is the caliber of artists who participate in it. These aren’t casual crafters but dedicated artisans who have spent years, sometimes decades, perfecting their skills.
Artist Spotlight: Maria Gonzales, Master Weaver
Maria has been creating traditional Rio Grande blankets for over 30 years. Her work follows patterns and techniques dating back to the 1600s. “Each thread connects me to the women who came before,” she shares. “When someone wraps themselves in one of my blankets, they’re embracing centuries of tradition.”
The Rigorous Selection Process
Artists must apply and be juried into the Traditional Spanish Market. The Spanish Colonial Arts Society evaluates:
- Technical mastery of traditional methods
- Historical accuracy of techniques and designs
- Quality of workmanship and attention to detail
- Cultural authenticity and understanding of traditions
This careful curation ensures visitors encounter only the finest examples of Spanish Colonial artistry.

The Cultural Legacy Behind the Art 🏛️
Understanding the historical context deepens your appreciation of what you’re witnessing at the Spanish Market.
Roots in Colonial History
Spanish Colonial art emerged when Spanish settlers arrived in New Mexico in 1598. Isolated from European art centers, local artisans developed distinctive styles that blended:
- Spanish religious traditions
- Native American techniques and materials
- Mexican colonial influences
- Frontier practicality and resourcefulness
Religious Significance
Much Traditional Spanish Market art serves religious purposes. Santos (saint figures) were created for home altars and churches in communities that rarely saw priests. These weren’t decorative objects but sacred items central to spiritual life.
“When I carve a saint, I’m not making art for art’s sake,” explains santero Miguel Torres. “I’m creating a bridge between the earthly and the divine.”
Preserving Techniques for Future Generations
The Spanish Colonial Arts Society doesn’t just organize the market; it actively works to preserve traditional knowledge through:
- Apprenticeship programs pairing young artists with masters
- Educational workshops teaching traditional techniques
- Documentation projects recording methods and cultural context
- School programs introducing children to their artistic heritage
The Santa Fe Contemporary Hispanic Market!
Beyond the Traditional: Contemporary Hispanic Market 🎭
While the Traditional Spanish Market honors the past, the Contemporary Hispanic Market celebrates how Hispanic culture continues to evolve and express itself through art.
Located on Lincoln Avenue, just across from the Plaza, this companion market features:
- Contemporary paintings addressing modern themes
- Innovative sculptures using traditional and modern materials
- Mixed media works that challenge artistic boundaries
- Performance art and interactive installations
The two markets together create a complete picture of Hispanic artistic expression, from ancient traditions to cutting-edge creativity.
Behind the Scenes: A Market Weekend 📸
What happens before the crowds arrive? The Spanish Market requires months of preparation and coordination.
Friday Setup
Artists begin arriving at dawn to claim their assigned spaces and arrange their booths. It’s a community effort, with experienced vendors helping newcomers and sharing setup tips.
The Artists’ Perspective
“Market weekend is the culmination of a year’s work,” shares potter Elena Ramirez. “But it’s not just about sales. It’s about connecting with people who appreciate what we do and sharing our culture.”
Many artists report that the conversations and connections matter as much as the transactions. Visitors often return year after year to see the same artists and catch up on their work and lives.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Q: Are pets allowed at the market? A: Service animals are welcome, but pets are generally discouraged due to crowds and summer heat.
Q: Is the market suitable for children? A: Absolutely! Children often enjoy the demonstrations and cultural performances. However, the crowds can be overwhelming for very young children.
Q: What forms of payment do artists accept? A: Most prefer cash, though some accept credit cards or checks. ATMs are available near the Plaza.
Q: Can I negotiate prices? A: While not offensive to ask, remember these are skilled artisans creating museum-quality work. Prices typically reflect the time, skill, and materials invested.
Q: Are there food options at the market? A: Yes! Food vendors offer everything from breakfast burritos to traditional New Mexican dishes. The Plaza area also has numerous restaurants.
Making the Most of Your Market Experience 🌟
The Santa Fe Spanish Market offers something rare in our digital age: authentic human connection through shared appreciation of traditional craftsmanship. Whether you’re an art collector, cultural enthusiast, or simply someone seeking a meaningful experience, the market provides memories that last long after you return home.
The key to a successful visit lies in preparation, but also in remaining open to unexpected discoveries. The artist whose booth you almost skip might create the piece that speaks to your soul. The traditional technique demonstration you pause to watch might deepen your understanding of an entire culture.
Many visitors find that attending the Spanish Market changes how they think about art, craftsmanship, and cultural preservation. In a world of mass production, witnessing someone create beauty by hand using centuries-old techniques feels almost miraculous.

Pancakes on the Plaza: A 47-Year Tradition
The crown jewel of Santa Fe’s 4th of July festivities, Pancakes on the Plaza, has been bringing families together since 1976. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Santa Fe, this beloved tradition transforms the historic Plaza into a bustling breakfast celebration that captures the heart of community spirit.

The magic happens early, so we recommend arriving by 7:30 AM to avoid the longest lines and secure seating near the live music stage. The car show features vintage automobiles that tell the story of American craftsmanship, while local artisans showcase handmade treasures perfect for commemorating your Santa Fe celebration.
Santa Fe Place Mall Fireworks Spectacular

🗓️ Your Hour-by-Hour Santa Fe 4th of July Schedule
Planning your perfect Santa Fe Independence Day requires strategic timing to experience everything this magical city has to offer. Here’s your insider’s guide to maximizing every moment:
7:00 AM – Early Bird Advantage
Arrive at the Plaza for Pancakes on the Plaza. Park in the nearby Eldorado Hotel garage or along Palace Avenue; arrive early, as these spots fill up quickly. Grab coffee from a local café like Iconik Coffee Roasters to fuel up before the festivities.
7:30 AM – 11:00 AM – Plaza Celebration
Enjoy unlimited pancakes while soaking in the mariachi music and community atmosphere. Kids love the face painting stations, while adults appreciate browsing the classic car show and local artisan booths.
11:30 AM – 2:00 PM – Cultural Exploration
Take advantage of your Plaza location to explore nearby attractions. The Palace of the Governors offers fascinating insights into Santa Fe’s rich history, while the New Mexico History Museum provides context for the region’s unique cultural heritage.
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM – Siesta & Preparation
Return to your accommodation for a midday rest because the high altitude (7,199 feet) can be tiring, especially for visitors from sea level. Use this time to hydrate, recharge, and prepare for the evening festivities.
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM – Dinner Strategy
Either enjoy dinner at your vacation rental or head to one of Santa Fe’s renowned restaurants. We recommend making reservations in advance, as July 4th is one of the busiest dining days of the year.
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM – Fireworks Positioning
Head to Santa Fe Place Mall and secure your viewing spot. Bring blankets, folding chairs, snacks, and plenty of water. The high desert air is dry, and hydration is crucial for comfortable evening enjoyment.
9:15 PM – 10:00 PM – Fireworks Finale
Experience Santa Fe’s spectacular fireworks display against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It’s a sight that combines natural beauty with patriotic celebration in a unique Santa Fe style.
🏔️ Insider Tips from Local Experts
After years of helping families create perfect Santa Fe experiences, we’ve gathered the wisdom that transforms good trips into extraordinary memories:
Arrival & Parking Secrets
“The early bird doesn’t just get the worm, they get the parking spot.” Arrive at the Plaza by 7:15 AM to secure street parking along Palace Avenue or Washington Avenue. The Eldorado Hotel parking garage opens early and provides covered parking just steps from the festivities.
For evening fireworks, the Santa Fe Place Mall offers abundant free parking; however, the lot fills up quickly after 7:30 PM. Consider parking at the nearby DeVargas Center and taking a short walk, as it’s often faster than waiting in traffic.
High Altitude Preparation
Santa Fe sits at 7,199 feet above sea level, which affects visitors from lower elevations. “Hydrate like your celebration depends on it, because it does.” Drink water consistently throughout the day, limit alcohol consumption, and don’t be surprised if you feel slightly winded during walks.
Pack sunscreen with high SPF protection. The high-altitude sun is deceptively strong, and you’ll spend considerable time outdoors. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are essential accessories.
What to Bring Checklist
✅ For Morning Plaza Activities: Comfortable walking shoes, light jacket (mornings can be cool), sunscreen, refillable water bottle, cash for artisan vendors
✅ For Evening Fireworks: Blankets or low-back chairs, warm layers (desert nights cool quickly), snacks, water, phone charger, small flashlight for walking back to your car
Weather Wisdom
July in Santa Fe typically features daytime temperatures in the low 80s with nighttime lows in the mid-50s. “Dress in layers because Santa Fe weather changes as dramatically as the landscape.” Afternoon thunderstorms are possible, but they are usually brief and refreshing.
🔍 Family-Friendly Pro Tips
Parents consistently tell us these strategies make their Santa Fe 4th of July celebration stress-free:
- Bring a wagon for transporting supplies and tired little legs
- Pack quiet activities for waiting periods (coloring books, small games)
- Establish a meeting point in case family members get separated in crowds
- Take advantage of the Plaza’s central location for easy bathroom and snack access
Tips for getting around Santa Fe on the 4th.
🚗 Getting Around Santa Fe on the 4th
Transportation & Parking Strategy
Plaza Area (Morning Events):
Street parking fills rapidly, so arrive before 7:30 AM. Paid parking options include:
- Eldorado Hotel Parking Garage (100 W San Francisco St)
- Santa Fe Parking Division lots on Water Street and Sandoval Street
- Limited metered street parking on surrounding streets
Santa Fe Place Mall (Evening Events):
Free parking is abundant early in the evening but fills quickly after 7:30 PM. Alternative parking at DeVargas Center (N Guadalupe St) offers a pleasant 10-minute walk to the mall.
Road Closures & Traffic Patterns
The City of Santa Fe typically closes portions of the Plaza to vehicle traffic during morning festivities. San Francisco Street, between the Old Santa Fe Trail and Guadalupe Street, may experience restricted access.
Evening traffic around Santa Fe Place Mall becomes congested between 7:00 and 8:00 PM, and again after the fireworks conclude. Allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes via St. Michael’s Drive.
Walking Routes Between Venues
The Plaza and Santa Fe Place Mall are approximately 3 miles apart—too far for comfortable walking, but close enough that traffic between venues can be heavy. We recommend staying in one location for extended periods rather than trying to shuttle between both events.
