Sundance Resort

This beautiful Valley and resort makes you feel a million miles away from civilization but in fact you aren't. Great food, wonderful service, very comfortable accommodations and the most beautiful area that you can imagine. Lots to do or not! Will definitely return. Have been here in summer and fall. Both fabulous! Our room, a studio has a very small kitchen so bring your snacks or breakfast or go to one of the four restaurants on the property. The sandwiches at the deli are the best ever!

My wife, daughter and I love to zipline. We've only done 3 others but Sundance is far and away the best. They told us it was the third longest but that it may be the steepest and fastest. You can travel up to a mile doing 70 mph. WOW.

Take a trip all the way up the Sundance mountain!! The pros: takes around an hour a half/ two hours to go up one side and down the other, reservoir and "beach"(small hilly gravel-y beach) halfway thru, completely paved roadways, many areas to stop off and park for picture taking, hiking galore, Robert Redford owns the resort halfway up the mountain on Alpine Loop, breathtaking views of clean pure snow capped Utah mountains surrounding you. Just beautiful!!!! No cons! The air is thin- 8060 feet high!

Stayed here for a conference and can't remember feeling so relaxed and comfortable at a hotel. The food that we were served was consistently fresh and elegant, especially for conference food. The conference center was comfortable and well equipped. My room was in the Mandan suites and sleeping with open windows with the sound of owls and the creek running nearby was peace personified. The cabins were rustic but luxurious (floor warmer in the bathroom, deep tubs, wonderful bed and pillows, a perfectly adequate kitchenette with a coffee pot). The walk to the base was wonderful and natural and the ski lift to the top of the mountain was worth the very relaxing trip for the views and the cafe waiting at the top (the nachos looked amazing!). I would love the opportunity to come back when I have more time to explore. There were so many nice touches and staying here was a real pleasure.

If you love the outdoors, all four seasons, and look for rustic mountain beauty, along with cozy laid-back ambience and great food, do not miss this jewel. The Owl's Nest is the coolest little bar ever. Weather permitting, don't miss the hike to Stewart Falls. Parts are intermediate due to short water crossings and narrow paths with drop offs on one side. I don't much like heights but just looked straight ahead and did fine, they are not that long. Hiking shoes/boots should be worn - and hiking poles are helpful for downhill and slippery rocks. We took the chairlift up - gorgeous views - did the hike to the falls, crossed over rock to rock the very shallow and narrow river at bottom of falls, and hiked back down the other side to the resort to a beer and delicious lunch. You need to be in decent physical shape, but at 63 and 72, we were just fine. Such a treat. If not for Robert Redford refusing to cave to developers, this whole area would now be nothing but luxury condos like a Vail. Thank you Mr. Redford!
