When settlers first came to Park City in search of silver and gold, they thought the riches were beneath the surface. After the mining boom, the town nearly became deserted, until the late 1960s when locals realized the real profits were on top of the mountains. Since then, Park City has hosted millions of skiers per year at its three world renowned resorts.
