Getting To The Canyons
Salt Lake City is the gateway airport for The Canyons, and it only takes about 45 minutes to get there by car. There are many private ground transport operators vying for your business to provide access to and from the resort. Quite a few of them have desks at the arrivals hall at the airport in case you don’t have reservations. Many of these transportation operators also provide private shuttles to and from other Utah ski resorts.
If driving from the airport, the route is very well sign posted and is via I-80 and highway 224.
If coming from
Park City, the free public bus system includes The Canyons on its various routes. The bus stop is located near the car park at the bottom of the Cabriolet lift. From here access to the village is possible via the Cabriolet lift (closes at 5:30pm) or the circulator shuttles that operate throughout the resort. The frequency is as follows:
- 6:37am-5pm every 20 minutes between The Canyons and Park City
- 5pm-11pm every 30 minutes between The Canyons and Park City
- 7:30am-10:45pm – every 30 minutes between The Canyons and Kimball Junction
Getting Around
The Canyons village is only small, so everything is within easy walking distance.
It won’t be necessary to hire a car, particularly if your vacation will primarily consist of skiing at The Canyons and staying at The Canyons in the evenings. However if you plan to ski at the other Park City resorts, do other activities, and go out in Park City a lot, a car will afford much more flexibility. There are also plenty of taxis in the Park City area.
Alternatively the public bus system will assist in getting around the Park City area. The bus system has routes that cover the downtown area, major hotels, all three ski resorts, and the suburbs including Kimball Junction where the outlet shopping is. Your accommodation is likely to have a copy of the bus schedules and maps, otherwise they can be found inside any of the buses. The bus system is generally very reliable, except during major holidays when small traffic jams may occur.
Some of the accommodations have their own shuttle buses.
