It was 1 pm before we returned to the road. We headed for Park City, the home of the famous Sundance Film Festival. Nestled among tall green mountains, Park City was the most beautiful town we have run across yet on this trip.
It has a classy art scene that rivals Santa Fe. The galleries displayed top-notch art work. Even the antique shops stocked a line of goods that were in a class of their own.
There was a craft brewery and distillery on every corner. I have noticed that it isn’t just breweries anymore. All the chic craft breweries have added distilleries to their line of beverages.
The town just smelled of high-end money. That was confirmed when I looked at the prices of real-estate. A tiny studio condo went for $375,000. Houses ranged in the $1,250,000 to $15,000,000 range. But, all that money bought an absolute picturesque town. I wonder if the town was always an exclusive area and that is why Robert Redford chose it for his Film Festival, or was it Redford’s Film Festival that made it so gentrified. Hmm, the old chicken and egg delema.
