Chills and thrills in Utah’s winter wonderland, Park City tgamtravel
Paddleboard yoga at the Homestead Crater in Park City, Utah.I’m wobbling on a paddleboard in a geothermal hot spring hidden beneath a limestone mound covered in snow. It’s the dead of winter at Homestead Crater in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain State Park, yet I’m in a ponytail and bikini, trying to stay afloat. The sun shines through the 10,000-year-old crater’s top.
Homestead Crater was formed when the melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep below the earth’s surface, heating the water. As warm water percolated up, it deposited minerals on the surface , eventually forming the limestone deposit it is today – a spot for warm stretching, reflection and an unintended splash or 12 into the 35 C mineral water.
Since I nailed stand-up paddleboard in an ancient crater, I figure, why not also hurl myself down the Utah Olympic Park’s Sliding Track for a thrilling-cum-terrifying 63-second bobsled ride? A bobsled ride at the Utah Olympic Park offers head-jarring, roller coaster-like thrills.
