During the holidays at Pendry Park City, families can join a daily scavenger hunt to win prizes for finding Gilbert, the hotel’s giant plush moose (based on a character from a children’s book by local authors). Clues left in rooms during nightly turndown service help kids track down Gilbert’s location, snap a photo, and bring it to the concierge to claim their prize.
