When you think of summer travel, images of European streets or sandy beaches may be the first to come to mind. Yet if a long trip across the pond is not in the cards for you this year, there are plenty of stateside options for your warm weather escape. Nestled in the Wasatch Mountains near Park City, Utah, The Lodge at Blue Sky is a fully functioning yet luxury ranch that draws guests into the slower pace of life. Every aspect – from the room décor to the notable Edge Spa that lives up to the Auberge Resorts reputation – is designed to reflect the mountain views outside. The ideal temperature and blossoming summer months bring an added array of activities to experience on the property, plus chances to venture further out to nearby destinations. Whatever adventures you get up to on your trip, you can return after a long day to one of the top luxury ranches in Utah.
With roughly 3500 acres of pristine wilderness, the resort offers an array of activities for every type of traveler, from the wellness lover to the casual outdoorsman to the adrenaline junkie. Leisurely spend your time dining at their signature mountaintop yurt, enjoying a suspended yoga session among the trees, or lounging by the resort’s infinity pool taking in the panoramic mountain views. For a bit more action, head out on the trails via mountain bike or choose one of their equestrian experiences ranging from horseback riding lessons to learning the “art of cowboying.“ If you’re seeking a thrilling adventure that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping, head out on an off-road 4×4 tour, take aim in Blue Sky’s sporting clay shooting course, or spend the day hiking to the remote Castle Peak Yurt or through the backcountry meadows.
High West Distillery
Though the resort sits on a vast amount of land, the Lodge at Blue Sky is only a few minutes from Park City and roughly 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, making it an ideal location for any travelers looking for new adventures off property. Working in tandem with local partners and your Brownell advisor, Blue Sky guests can enjoy private transfers to High West Distillery (that’s been around since 1870) for an exclusive tasting, head out to one of the stunning rock formations with a certified guide for a bout of rock climbing that can be adjusted to your skill level, or spend the day fly fishing in neighboring rivers and reservoirs hoping to catch trout.
Dreaming of venturing further into some of the West’s most iconic landscapes? Or perhaps you want to spend your trip park hopping around the National Parks and need a place to land? The Lodge at Blue Sky’s ideal location is the perfect springboard for day trips, overnight explorations, or a relaxing conclusion to a long getaway. Roughly four hours away from this mountain retreat, you can hike through the technicolor canyons of Zion National Park, stand in awe at the geysers of Yellowstone National Park, or kayak on Mirror Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Imagine waking up with the sunrise to experience the rare, untouched scenery of the National Parks before returning to Blue Sky for fireside cocktails and swapping stories of your explorations. Or enjoy a few days relaxing at the Lodge’s spa after spending an extended getaway hiking through the parks before returning home. Whichever adventure you choose, the Lodge at Blue Sky promises an unforgettable blend of relaxation and awe-inspiring discovery.
Whether you are a thrill seeker needing the perfect retreat for your next adventure or are searching for the ideal getaway to take your family this summer, there is plenty to do and experience stateside, especially in the West United States.
