About Wasatch Adventure Guides
Wasatch Adventure Guides operates year-round from the lobby of the Newpark Resort in Park City, providing professionally guided mountain experiences that span every season. Their team of certified guides holds credentials from organisations like the American Mountain Guides Association and the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education, ensuring that every outing meets rigorous safety and instructional standards regardless of the activity or conditions.
During the warmer months, Wasatch Adventure Guides leads guided hiking excursions and mountain bike tours through the stunning Wasatch Range. Hiking trips range from family-friendly nature walks through wildflower-filled meadows to challenging summit pushes on peaks like Clayton and Jupiter, where panoramic views stretch across the Heber Valley and beyond. Mountain bike tours take advantage of Park City's IMBA Gold-rated trail system, with guides selecting routes that match each group's fitness and technical skill.
Winter brings a completely different set of adventures. Snowshoe treks wind through hushed, snow-covered forests where guests frequently spot moose, elk, and other wildlife. Backcountry ski touring programmes cater to intermediate and advanced skiers who want to earn their turns in the pristine terrain beyond the resort boundaries, with full avalanche safety equipment provided. For those seeking something truly unique, ice climbing excursions on frozen waterfalls in Provo Canyon offer an unforgettable introduction to vertical winter sport.
Every outing is customised to the group's ability level, with half-day excursions available for those short on time and full-day adventures — complete with a catered lunch — for guests who want the complete backcountry experience. The Newpark Resort location provides easy access from anywhere in the Park City area, making Wasatch Adventure Guides an excellent choice for visitors who want expert-led outdoor experiences without the planning headaches.
