Memorial Day in Park City, Utah is the marked start of the summer activities you will find to do in this mountain city. Park City is located near some of the most memorable mountains you will see and that means plenty of outdoor activity during the summer months. While parades and special events pay tribute to the area's and country's Armed Services, there is quite a bit to do and see on this long holiday weekend.
By Memorial Day, you can expect that most of the park is open for enjoyment, with the last of the snow gone. This means the start of buggy, wagon and cutter rides, favorite events throughout the years because of the amazing draft horses that pull you along. Another attraction is the fly fishing, especially on the Blue Ribbon River. Anglers come from far and wide to enjoy the fishing that comes out from under Mount Timpanogos. The Provo River is an ideal location, too. Horseback riding and biking are two more favorite activities at the start of the summer.
On Memorial Day in Park City, you will find City Hall and several of the religious centers gathering to pay respect to both the active and inactive defenders of the country. Special tribute is paid to those who were lost in the line of duty as well. A parade marches down historic Main Street to mark the start of the celebration. For those visiting on Memorial Day, Park City means fantastic people and special tributes, and of course outstanding food.
