What is the elevation of Park City, UT?
Downtown Park City is 7,014 ft (2,138 m) above sea level, from the USGS 3D Elevation Program at the city-center coordinates. Inside the city limits, USGS values at 154 sampled points run from 6,608 to 9,961 ft.
What is the highest point in Park City?
The highest of our 154 USGS sample points inside the 2024 Census city boundary is 9,961 ft (3,036 m), about 3.2 mi from downtown (40.6130, -111.5410). The true high point can be slightly higher because it may fall between grid points.
What is the lowest point in Park City?
The lowest sampled point is 6,608 ft (2,014 m), about 3.3 mi from downtown. That is 3,353 ft below the highest sampled point.
At what temperature does water boil in Park City?
At 7,014 ft, water boils at about 199.2 °F (92.9 °C) and standard air pressure is 23.08 inHg (781 hPa), so each breath holds about 77% of the oxygen it would at sea level. Cooking times for pasta, eggs and beans run a little longer than at sea level.
What is the elevation of the airport near Park City?
Heber Valley (KHCR), 12 mi from downtown, has an FAA field elevation of 5,636.8 ft (1,718 m).
