USA: The Lodge at Blue Sky, Park City, UT

Where the Old West Meets New Luxury, High in the Wasatch

Just forty minutes from Salt Lake City and a short, scenic drive from Park City's slopes, The Lodge at Blue Sky sits on 3,500 acres of working ranch land in the Wasatch foothills, with Alexander Creek cutting through the property and canyon walls rising on either side. The 46 rooms and suites are spread across three distinct settings: Sky Lodge rooms and two story Signature Suites in the main lodge, Earth Suites built into the hillside beneath living grass roofs, and five freestanding Creek Houses set along the water's edge. Locally sourced stone, reclaimed wood, and oversized windows keep the architecture grounded in its surroundings, so the mountains and ranchland stay the focal point rather than the buildings themselves.

What sets Blue Sky apart is that it is, in every sense, a working ranch. Gracie's Farm, a small organic plot on the property, grows the herbs, vegetables, and honey that show up on the menu at Yuta, the resort's signature restaurant. Just as central is the Saving Gracie Equine Healing Foundation, a nonprofit founded by owner Barb Phillips that rescues and rehabilitates horses, complete with a full time, on site veterinarian, a rarity among North American resorts. Guests can spend time with the rescued horses through natural horsemanship sessions. Rates run all inclusive, folding farm to table dining, non alcoholic beverages, and a rotating menu of guided adventures into the nightly rate, while a complimentary shuttle whisks skiers to Park City Mountain Resort and the property's own slopeside ski lounge. Come winter, the ranch opens up further with heli skiing across the Wasatch and Uinta ranges and guided snowmobiling through the Uinta National Forest and the resort's own snow covered meadows.
