Located in the Kamas Valley in Summit County and butting up to the Uinta National Forest, High Star Ranch is a new kind of neighborhood. The equestrian ranch sits on 1,100 acres of land and boasts stunning views of Mt. Timpanogos, Deer Valley, and more. Just 20-minutes from Park City and 45-minutes to the Salt Lake International Airport, High Star reaches the ever-elusive state of being in the middle of nowhere yet being connected to it all

State Road Tavern

1. State Road Tavern

The State Road Tavern opened in January 2016. This establishment features its own custom built smoker and provides hungry customers with freshly smoked Angus beef, pork and organic chicken. There are over 20 beers served and an impressive offering of craft cocktails. Come in for a side of High Star Jo Jo’s or Brisket tacos and enjoy the fireplace and the al fresco view. As if dining could get any better, there is a full bar and Sunday brunch.

2. Josephines

Josephines is the freshest watering hole to open in Utah. Yet the large cottonwoods and lush Kentucky bluegrass views make you feel like it’s been around forever. Come experience the awesome patio and the modern design inside. Try the signature State Road Burger or Blackened Scottish Salmon while the kids gobble grilled cheese sandwiches or chicken fingers – there’s a dish for any pallet.
