The Scoop on San Diego Bike Sharing The last few months have seen an unprecedented explosion of brightly-colored bicycles and electric scooters strewn across the streets and sidewalks of every corner of the San Diego-sometimes literally. You’ll see them along the beach in front of Capri by the Sea, propped near a tree in La Jolla, or on a sidewalk in the Gaslamp Quarter. What does this influx of freestanding vehicles...

West of Park City, just on the outskirts of Summit Park, a lonely stretch of forgotten road snakes across the gentle slope off the shoulder of I-80. After branching off the westernmost road in town, the irregular and deteriorating pavement slithers along Parley’s Creek, a thin and crumbling line between a seven-lane transcontinental artery and the largely unspoiled wilderness of the mountains beyond. This forgotten path, simply labeled “Unnamed Road”...

Craving an alpine escape? Perhaps, a place for the whole family (yes, even the furry ones) to hike, swim, and explore the Wasatch wilderness while making it back on Main Street for sunset and dinner? Luckily, this local favorite checks all these boxes and more! Clear your weekend plans, pack a swimsuit and head into the Mountains for Bloods Lake. The Pros High-Altitude Oasis Nothing like its namesake, Bloods Lake...

You definitely shouldn’t come to Park City. Our little Wasatch community is very boring, and nothing interesting or cool ever happens here. We certainly don’t have some of the finest snow on the planet, which would make Park City a world-class skiing and snowboarding destination that could conceivably play host to Winter Olympic Games. There is hardly anywhere interesting to stay and very little in the way of eateries-just a...

The City Different-also known as Santa Fe- is a beautiful, historical, cultural, culinary, and natural destination.

Getting out into the Southwest air, stretching your legs, and having a great time makes for a perfect afternoon of Santa Fe adventure....

Puke Hill is an infamous Park City local challenge There are dozens of trails all over Park City. Hundreds of miles of carefully curated paths wind in, around, and through every corner of town. They range in challenge from flat, paved circuits to hilly knots of bare earth. One popular trail, Wasatch Crest, takes in 20 miles of picturesque terrain along the top of the crest between Park City and Big...

A glittering jewel lies in one of the furthest extremities of the United States. Sitting at the bottom tip of California, San Diego is just this side of the Mexican border. The second-largest city in California, and the eighth-largest city in the United States, San Diego is home to a vibrant and diverse populace, an enormous variety of attractions, and some truly massive and unique annual celebrations. Get to know...

With the Sundance Film Festival fast approaching, local expertise becomes an invaluable tool in the festival-goer survival kit. Madeline Knauer is a college student and Park City native who grew up attending films and being as much a part of the festival as possible. She attended Park City High School, where students spend the better part of the festival’s 10-day run in the heart of the action. Teachers at the...

Right behind historic Main Street lies an esoteric Park City oddity: The Shoe Tree. Not a tree that grows shoes, not a tree made of shoes-technically not even just one tree-the Shoe Tree is a longstanding local landmark dating back to the ’70s, when a few soused celebrants chucked their footwear into one of the trees on the side of the road near the famous downtown destination. Now a row of several...
