Sundance Resort

Sundance Resort Review

12 mi northeast of Provo (51 mi south of Salt Lake City), off Rte. 92.

Sundance Resort, set on the eastern slopes of the breathtaking 11,750-foot Mount Timpanogos, came into being when Robert Redford purchased the land in 1969. In concept and practice, the 5,000-acre mountain community reflects Redford's commitment to the natural environment, outdoor exploration, and artistic expression. All resort facilities—constructed from local materials such as indigenous cedar, fir, and pine, and locally quarried stone—blend well with the natural landscape. No matter the season, you'll find plenty of recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, fly-fishing, horseback riding, alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. If you're looking for a more indulgent experience, relax with a body treatment in The Spa at Sundance or take one of many creative classes at The Art Shack. The Sundance Film Festival, based in nearby Park City each January, is an internationally recognized showcase for independent films. Festival screenings and summer workshops are held at the resort.
