west NEWS & NOTES
PARK CITY AND SNOWBIRD, UTAH
SUDS AT THE SUMMIT
Summertime in the mountains means hiking through pine forests and meadows
peppered with wildflowers, shopping at quaint stores in charming little towns, and beer
festivals. Oktoberfest at Utah’s Snowbird — one of the state’s most popular community
celebrations — begins in mid-August and
lasts for approximately eight weeks, with
live music and other festivities happening
every Saturday and Sunday, plus Labor Day.
More than 50 brews are available, including
traditional imports and locally crafted favorites,
and menu items run the gamut from bratwurst
and sauerkraut to spaetzle and apple strudel.
Mesquite has casinos with all manner of
exciting table games and a few top-notch
golf courses. Its most thrilling attraction,
however, may still be one of its least
known. Skydive Mesquite is Nevada’s
largest, most comprehensive skydiving
operation. First timers are welcome and
can be airborne — as in free falling 120
miles per hour from 13,000 feet high —
in a matter of minutes. Which makes all
those exciting table games seem pretty
ho-hum.

TAKE THE PLUNGE
The joy of Legoland is immersing yourself in the world of the iconic
building blocks. When the Lego City Deep Sea Adventure attraction opens

too. The new ride features real Lego-style submarines that take 12
passengers at a time on an underwater adventure in search of sunken
treasure. Besides interacting with the famous toy minifigure dive team,
guests will maneuver among some 2,000 live aquatic animals, including
various rays and sharks.

n Downtown Dining — Treat yourself at Breckenridge’s newest fine-dining restaurant, Legends
Steaks & Italian. The eatery began serving up high-end steaks, seafood, and indulgent house-made
pasta in fall 2017. In addition to delectable dinners and an impressive wine list, the atmosphere is
cozy. The walls are adorned with old-school black-and-white photos of some of Colorado’s historical
figures — from Barney Ford to Butch Cassidy — so you can journey back in time as you sip your
Prohibition-era cocktail. Tables at this downtown hotspot are in high demand, so be sure to make
a reservation in advance.

feet high with 16 different routes to navigate, and an exciting, multistage canopy ropes course that is
sure to test your strength and agility. And don’t miss the 10-tower zip-line experience, offering bird’s-
eye views of the surrounding mountains, and a chance to traverse a 200-foot-long aerial bridge.
