When you think of a mountain town, you may just think of ski trips. But, one mountain town in Utah is proving that mountain towns are so much more.

Thrillist compiled a list of the best mountain towns to visit in America, and Park City made the list. It came in at number eight.

Here is what Thrillist said about Park City:

"This is home to some of America's finest skiing, sure, but it's also a little slice of small-town heaven, one where trollies still cart you around in the event that your feet are too sore from hiking the nearby Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
In addition to all the mountain-town staples like biking, hiking, river-rafting, and horseback riding, you get the extra-fun activities of Utah Olympic Park -- including one of the longest bobsled rides in the world, and one of only two in the US you can ride."

Here are the top 15 mountain towns in America, according to Thrillist:

  1. Taos, New Mexico
  2. Lake Placid, New York
  3. Telluride, Colorado
  4. Bend, Oregon
  5. Truckee, California
  6. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
  7. Asheville, North Carolina
  8. Park City, Utah
  9. Lewisburg, West Virginia
  10. Homer, Alaska
  11. Woodstock, Vermont
  12. Eureka Springs, Arkansas
  13. Livingston, Montana
  14. Leavenworth, Washington
