Summer fun at Snowbird

Skiing at Snowbird might be done for the season, but the resort's summer activities are just getting underway.

My thought bubble: I spent a half day at Snowbird on Wednesday in search of cooler temperatures, pristine mountain views and outdoor fun.

• Here's what stood out.

Mountain Coaster: This coaster offers over 3,000 feet of twists and turns through trees and greenery. You can control your speed. Ride alone or with a friend.

Scenic tram rides: Take in panoramic views of Little Cottonwood Canyon on the resort's rooftop trams that were first introduced last year.

• The 13-minute ride takes you to Hidden Peak via a 1.6-mile cable.

Hiking: The resort offers multiple trails — all free — with varying degrees of difficulty, including the Observation Point Trail . Wildlife sightings of deer and moose are not uncommon.

Admission: All-day passes are available for summer activities. Prices vary depending on height and the time you go.
