The Park City Police Department in June received an unusual report involving a moose sighting, apparently in the hills surrounding Old Town.

The case was logged at 9:49 p.m. on June 22. The police were told someone was “hiding from” a moose. The person told the police they were “on a cliff” at the time and hiding from the animal in a rocky area.

The Police Department logs identified King Road as the location of the report. King Road is a steep street toward the southern end of Old Town. One side of King Road climbs toward Park City Mountain Resort while the other side terminates at an intersection with Main Street, Park Avenue and Daly Avenue.

The precise location of the cliff mentioned in the report to the police is not clear. The terrain is steep in the area of King Road, and there are several trails in the vicinity.

The police said in a separate statement the person was “fearful of walking past a moose below them.”

“The officer provided his vehicle lights to make it safe for them to eventually safely walk down the road,” the police said.

The Police Department regularly receives reports of wildlife, including moose sightings. The southern end of Old Town, where the June 22 case was reported, is one of the common locations of moose sightings. There is expansive habitat for moose in the hills surrounding Old Town. There is also an extensive trail network.
