August 17 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
On Saturday, August 17th the Park City Museum will host a “historic” hike following the Sweeney Switchback up to the Silver King Coalition Mine. During the hike we’ll discuss the Silver King Aerial Tramway, the Silver King Mine Company, the former industrial area of lower Park City and the connection between the Brooklyn Bridge and the tramway. David Nicholas will be your guide.
This is a “strenuous” hike especially so considering the oppressive heat dome that has settled over our area. Dress accordingly and bring plenty of water, snacks, a hat, and sunscreen. Expect four hours round trip including riding the Old Town chair lift down.
We may even have a “special” guest join us.
