Jupiter Peak: A Majestic Alpine Adventure

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the main Deer Valley area, head north on Deer Valley Drive towards Park City. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Kearns Blvd. Turn right onto Kearns Blvd, and continue for about 1.5 miles. Look for the signs for the Deer Valley Resort and take a left onto Royal Street. Follow Royal Street until you reach the Deer Valley Resort parking area. From there, look for the Silver Lake Express lift. Park your car here; note that parking fees may apply during peak season.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take the Park City Transit bus service. Board the bus at any of the Deer Valley bus stops (check the local bus schedule for exact times). Take the bus towards the Snow Park area. Get off at the Snow Park Lodge stop. From there, you will need to walk to the Silver Lake Express lift. This lift will take you up to the mid-mountain area, where you can then access the trails leading to Jupiter Peak. The bus service is free, making it a convenient option for travelers.

• Hiking

  Once you arrive at the Silver Lake Express lift, take the lift to the top. After disembarking, follow the clearly marked hiking trails leading to Jupiter Peak. The hike is moderate and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Be sure to bring water, snacks, and a camera for the breathtaking scenery. Check the local trail maps for the best routes, and be aware that hiking at high altitudes can be challenging.
