Visitors to Rainbow Park on the shores of Alta Lake should take a close look at the rustic cabins dotted around the lakeside park. Several of the wooden buildings belonged to Rainbow Lodge, one of the first tourist stops on the railroad in the area which became popular as a fishing and recreational retreat long before Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains had ski lifts.
The original Rainbow Lodge building was destroyed by fire in the 70s, but the cabins remain to remind visitors of what life was like on the lake in the days before the ski resort.
