Vibe Outside fosters connection and belonging by exposing kids to the awe of nature, meaningful outdoor activity and thoughtful discussions.

Local expert, Betsy Bothe and guest mentors facilitate healthy and inspirational outdoor experiences, focusing on mental wellness by engaging them in life-affirming activities.

THEME: Perspective and Stewardship- The Wasatch Back and our beautiful mountain landscape!

Come dressed for a hike, bring a backpack with plenty of water, wear sunscreen, bug spray and a hat. Bring your own snack. Wear good hiking shoes or boots (no vans)! Make sure to dress for hiking, wear sunscreen and a hat. Also, bring a jacket as the weather can get cool at 9,000 feet.

LOCAL HERO: Mike Lloyd

MENTOR: Betsy Bothe, White Pine Touring

Getting There:

Empire Pass: As you enter Park City, follow the signs for Deer Valley and Guardsman Road. Get on Bonanza Drive heading south uphill. At the roundabout, turn toward Empire Canyon (SR 224). Stay on that road for about 3.5 miles. Go through the roundabout in front of Empire Canyon Lodge and head uphill on 224. Just after the turn to the right, there’s parking on the left side of the road. Park here if you’ll start your ride on the Midmountain Trail (back downhill just above the turn). For Empire Pass (direct access to 9K) continue to the top of the mountain to the parking area.

Pine Creek/Bonanza Flat trailhead: On the Guardsman Road about 1/2 mile west of Empire Pass, turn downhill into the trailhead. The connector to the 9K trail is across the road from parking.
