The Church of Dirt was an unsanctioned installation created by members of the Park City community. While it initially served as a quaint way for locals to tie the knot with low-key parties in a beautiful area, word spread like wildfire and large events became commonplace in a spot that was never capable of hosting large-scale weddings. After several peak-weekends with dads in tuxedos chasing off mountain bikers-claiming the lot was reserved for their kid's wedding-conflicts from overlapping events, and third parties trying to monetize event services on public land, PCMC decided that the most responsible land management decision was to dismount the installation and let the area revegetate.
