And Park City made the list.
The list showed off popular and stunning mountain destinations that arent near major cities.
Rather, the list displays places travelers will need to visit on their own.
Not all of us have the pleasure of living in major U.S. cities like Seattle, Denver, and Los Angeles, where mountain views are a part of the daily routine, the lists description reads. Most of us will have to travel to get our fill of these scenic natural creations, which were formed as a result of Earth's tectonic plates smashing together.
The list doesnt include a numbered ranking.
Park City sits toward the middle of the list. Oyster.com celebrates the citys proximity to the Salt Lake City International Airport and its legendary powder skiing.
While you're in town, head for Main Street, which is lined with 19th-century buildings that were built during the silver mining boom. Park City residents also support the arts with indoor and outdoor music venues, while the town hosts the Sundance Film Festival each January, the Park City description reads.
Tullruide, Colorado, also made the list as an alternative mountain destination to Denver.
The list also includes spots such as Yosemite, California; Taos, New Mexico; and Stowe, Vermont.
Travel and Leisure previously gave Park City the No. 1 spot for top mountain towns.
