Snowbird and Solitude feature a wide and diverse variety of summer events, activities, dining and lodging options. Both resorts offer lift served mountain biking and mountain scooters (a great option for less experienced riders), hiking, wildflower tours, trout fishing ponds for the kids, and scenic chairlift and/or tram rides. In addition, each offers its own unique activities, such as disc golf at Solitude. Snowbird has bungy trampoline jumping, two separate climbing walls and a zip rider that whooshes harnessed riders a thousand feet down a suspended cable from a 50 foot tower near the top of the Chickadee lift to the Snowbird Center. Other activities available at Snowbird are horseback riding, outdoor concerts, the annual Oktoberfest and more.

Whenever you plan activities in the mountains, be sure to bring sunscreen, plenty of water and your camera. You just might have the chance to spot and photograph wildlife such as deer, moose, many types of birds and other mountain critters.
